Delete a triplet

I’m struggling to delete a triplet for which a signpost is not showing at the start of the second measure below. Highlighting and deleting the rest has no effect. There must be an easy solution, but I’m a bit lost at the moment…

Can you post a Dorico file excerpt of those two measures?

Will do shortly :slight_smile:

You did try to delete the signpost in write mode, I guess?

There’s no signpost showing in Write or Engrave mode… it will take me a little time to produce a cut down file to post…

Thanks in advance for any help…

The green 3:2?

There’s one showing on the penultimate beat of the previous bar, but not on the troublesome beat at the start of the following bar :frowning: When I was inputting music, the triplet had continued into the following bar, as expected, but now I can’t delete either notes (if I add something) or see a signpost to delete the triplet…

I’ll post an excerpt shortly…

I suspect I’m missing something obvious, but the first beat of 35 is where I seem to be unable to delete a hidden triplet signpost.

You have entered a 3:2q tuplet in bar 34, which spans the barline into bar 35.

To fix it. Select the signpost, hit delete, then re-enter the correct tuplet 3:2e

Thank you so much for this @Janus. May I ask how you identified what I had done, if only to allow me to self-diagnose a little more in future… Thanks once again for your help - very much appreciated.

I suspected it, but checked by selecting the signpost and activating the spans barline property, this clearly show the extent of the tuplet…

Brilliant - thank you for this, @Janus - so helpful, and to be honest, I’d have never solved this without your input.

I believe Janus should receive the Solution checkmark.

Apologies - an mistake on my part, thanks for head-up… :slight_smile:
