I’m engraving the trumpet and cello excerpt from Schoenberg’s 5 Pieces for Orchestra, starting at one after Rehearsal 5.
I can get the 4/3 eighth note tuplets, but can’t figure out how to get the correct 2/3 quarter note tuplets into one measure; see my example 1 and 2 in the Dorico screenshot. Any suggestions?
You’d need to nest the shown tuplet under a hidden tuplet.
Create a 6:3 eighth note tuplet, then create a 2:3 quarter note tuplet, then hide the 6:3 tuplet.
Sometimes I wonder what’s wrong with dotted eighths…
This may be a slightly more convoluted way than Leo’s, but I discovered that entering the quarters under the same 4:3 eighths ratio you used for the eighth notes will work if you also set the “Use contracting ratio” switch in the Tuplet Properties.
