How can I make this in 4/4 timing?
What rhythmic duration is that figure intended to fill? A full bar?
Ok, so over the span of a dotted quarter?
Note input
Shift-V if needed to create a downstem voice
Press 5 for 8th notes
Semicolon key for tuplet popover
15:3 (15 8ths in the span of 3)
Enter
Input notes
the thing that confuses me is how to get the G in the bottom staff to connect with staff above? also what do you mean by span of dotted quarter?
The 15-tuplet occupies the span of a dotted quarter note, since itâs preceded by an 8th rest. Thatâs important to know so you know how long to make it.
Select the G and press M to bump it to the staff below.
So then why did the composer write it as 15 when it is more than that?
the 15 is clearly 2 octaves up. Itâs the top note in the passage, taken by the left hand. Obvious to any pianist Iâd say⌠

Thanks.
Oops, sorry. Reading is hard⌠Yeah, however many notes it is, that should be entered as X:3 in the tuplet popover.

Wouldnât it be 27:4, which would include the quaver rest?
Edit: I guess you are right (27:3) based on the beaming group
It still wonât work effectively. I keep getting this (it still plays the correct pitch but it does not match up with what it should look like):
Does it have to play back properly in the computer?
(Iâm puzzled why the composer did not notate the high G in the top staff with a m.s. Playing Technique. Perhaps because it would conflict with the octave line.)
Yes. I have the 15 octave line already for that G on the bottom staff in the treble clef but it wonât seem to work.
Likely because the âinterstaffâ note is already under the octave sign in the top staff.
