Hello!
I’m curious… is this tuplet notation possible in Dorico as an actual feature, or is it only possible to achieve this effect by putting text over the tremolo’d note to “fudge” it?
I don’t have a solution for your question. But if we are talking about abbreviations, I have a very similar question. I don’t think Dorico offers an option for this notation yet either, or am I mistaken?
Yes, it is possible in Dorico.
Enter the 6-tuplet and 12-tuplet as 16th-note tuplets (6:4 and 12:8 respectively).
Select the first note of the 6-tuplet which you want to abbreviate and change it to a dotted quarter note. Then add the 2-stroke tremolo marking.
Similarly for the 12-tuplet - select the first note and change it to a dotted half note, then add the 2-stroke tremolo.
You will possibly need to flip the tuplet numbers using F, and also hide tuplet brackets using the Properties panel.

Not an option but perhaps this workaround.
Making 4 bars of 1/4 timesignature and hiding the barlines.
Thanks, this is quite similar even though the signs don’t match. Actually I thought about your solution too, but the spacing gets messy and the workaround with the space correction takes a lot of time and in my piece of music this abbreviation happens in a lot different ways. But thank you anyhow.
Is this what you want?
For the repeat symbol, I created a new notehead set containing a new notehead with four instances of noteheadSlashHorizontalEnds (U+E101). The second through fourth instances have X-Offsets of -9.50, -6.00 and -9.50, respectively.

Wow!! and thanks! I still don’t use all those graphical possibilities enough. The playback would be another issue
