HELP!! How do you score 5 x 1/8 notes? I need to score five 8ths in the time of 2 1/4 notes. How do you put a phrase mark over the 5 notes with a little ‘5’ to tell the player how to play this group of five 1/8th notes in the same time as it takes to play 4 1/8 notes?
-
Insert 5 notes of any length shorter than 1/8 note
-
Select the notes (only)
-
Then use Scores>Build N-Tuplet… in the menu, with these settings:
Type: 5
Over: 2/4 -
click Build
if your notes are already recorded and you do not want to change their duration, do step 2 to 4, excepted that you would use Quantize at step 4.
Oh! What a relief!! Thanks so much Maestro!!
