Create 5/4 tuplet

[GeirSol]

Hi! I’d like to create tuplets of 5/4 ratio in one keycommand. (like pressing 5)
Is that possible?

This post discussed this:

One-button shortcut for tuplets?

Re: Tuplets - Dorico - Steinberg Forums and Single shortkey for 3er tuplets ? - Dorico - Steinberg Forums I have a piece of music with lots of quarter-note triplets. Unfortunately, they are almost all separate, which requires me to do 4 ; 3 enter over and over again. The dream, of course, is to have the ability to set one or more specific tuplet ratios-with-note-basis (as in quarter-3:2) and unique shortcuts for each. How close are we to this? Many thanks!

This is one of the many things you can achieve with the ConsoleTools Lua framework. In fact, I made a whole library for streamlining tuplet-related tasks:

Create Tuplets With a Single Keycommand With a Lua Library for ConsoleTools

As part of the release of five scripting libraries for the ConsoleTools Lua framework, I today publish the Tuplets Tool Library (the four other releases are: Casting-off, Window Menu Commands, Cueing and Selecting). It provides a number of simple tool functions for creating and editing tuplets more easily in Dorico. In particular, it addresses longstanding user requests for more concise tuplet entry, making it possible to assign single-key keycommands for specific tuplets. Also included are too…

That’s impressive. Thanks!

Hi Alexander,
both the free and paid versions are not currently available for download from your website. A window opens saying “No item in cart. Please refresh the page”.
After refreshing, though, there is no change.
Could you please check?

AutoHotKey is what I use for tuplets, Simple key scripting language to learn, very powerful. Simple. Similar programs exist for the Mac.

I think I may have found out what the problem was. Could you please retry and report back?

All working as expected.
I’ve tried the free version.
As soon as I can find the time to learn it, next couple of weeks, I will upgrade to the paid version.
