Entering tuplets from the inside out

Hi everyone,

Would you kindly advise me the most efficient way to have the bottom staff from the top? Ideally without rewriting or shifting any music?
I know tuplets are written typically from the outside bracket in in Dorico, however it would be tremendously helpful to be able to edit in the reverse as I input directly into Dorico from other software.

Much appreciated,
Brandon

Hi everyone, I just wanted to check-in on this issue and see if anyone has some ideas?
Many thanks!

As you are importing (I assume xml), have you tried this preference…?

I managed with a few manipulations (and just one note to enter in the end), but there might be a simpler way:

(and I forgot to retie the two Ds at the end)

Thanks very much Charles!
It does look like you need to delete and rewrite the tuplets then… unless there’s a way around this?
Also, the what is the meaning of the e, x and y letters you add to the tuplet values? This would be great to know…

e=eighth
x=16th
y=32nd

From the manual:

Hi @brandon96 – you were very polite about it, which is always greatly appreciated, but just for the future, we try to discourage the bumping of posts. There are many people here who do read most if not all posts, but you know how life goes, that might not always be immediately!

You first posted less than a day ago, which is still quite recent – if your issue is urgent, you can always try posting in eg the Facebook group, and copy a link to your forum post (so that it’s easy for anyone reading your duplicate post has an easy way of following any previous discussion).

Ah ok! Got it. Thanks Lillie.
