In a 2/4 Time , in the last eigth, so in the last beat of the measure, I'd need writing 3 eigths.

I appreciate your answers

Are you using Speedy Entry or Simple Entry?

It really is no problem to end a measure with a tuplet.

I recommend that you go to Mike’s web site, and read the mini-tutorial about tuplets:
specialmillwork . com/finaletips

Or - as a fast solution - de-select “Check for Extra Notes”.

Thank you, Peter for your answer.

I managed doing it after de-select “Check for Extra Notes”.

I don,t know whether that was the reason , or because this time instead of writing in the Tuplet definition:

3 16ths in the space of 2 16ths

I wrote this time:

3 16ths in the space of 1 8th

Anyway, thank you very much for your quick answer, Peter
