You can break secondary beams with the Special Tool "Secondary Beam Break Tool".

You can break through all beams with the (QWERTY) / key.

You can enter the 16ths as one 9-tuplet (9 sixteenths in the place of 6 sixteenths) or as three triplets (3 sixteenths in the place of 2 sixteenths).

Define your time signature as 3 eight notes, not as one dotted quarter note!
