Changing note durations without affecting subsequent notes

[kasparianr]

I want to change the duration of several consecutive 16ths to 32nds. I know I can do this, but when I follow the instructions linked below, subsequent notes are shifted to earlier in the score by the cumulative time I shortened the group of 16ths. How can I leave subsequent notes and measures untouched? I would like rests to be inserted right after the group I shorted to match the exact amount by which I shortened it.

Second, but related question: What if I want to take six consecutive 16ths and convert them to a 6:4 tuple (or any other arbitrary tuple)? Is there a way to do that?

Probably not necessary, but here is an image of the music I am editing:

Change note durations without adding rests

I want to change note durations, for example, change a measure of quarter notes to a half measure of eighth notes. But when I change the duration, I get a measure of eighth notes divided by eighth-note rests.

Changing note duration in the middle of a score

Hello, I’ve scoured past topics and haven’t been able to find an answer to this question but I apologize if it’s already been asked. Is there a way to change the duration of a note in the middle of a score without losing the notes after it. I have inputted almost everything in a song and am now realizing that one of the notes I inputted should be a half note instead of a quarter. Unfortunately whenever I insert the correct value, I lose the note right after it, which would imply I simply have t…

Add a stop bar (shift-alt-I) - the strange red vertical line appears.

Select the first, invoke the tuplet popover ; and enter 6:4x
