I have a question about the note repeat symbol. How does it work?

I want to create four tremolos in a dotted quarter note in 4/4 time. How can I do this?

Hi @soundware,

  • start note input
  • activate the Tuplet (with the right shortcut, depending on your keyboard language) and write 3:2e
  • press 66 (6 twice) to chose a dotted quarter note value
  • press G (or play directly the G octave on your MIDI keyboard)
  • with the G still selected activate the Repeat Structure popover with Shift+R, and write 1
  • add-on: in the Properties panel you can deactivate the triplet number (after selecting it)

This still has the 3 for the triplet over/underneath the dotted crotchet so then shift+command (control) +E for Engraving options > tuplets > display of Tuplets Ratio > none.

Cool video, @Christian_R!! :slight_smile:

Thank you. I followed the video, and it worked.

You are welcome.

It’s probably best to set just the properties for these tuplets, rather than globally turning off the ratio,

Ah yes, good point!

Thanks :slight_smile:
