This is a SmartScore problem, but I can't figure it out in finale, either.

Look at the attached screen shot. How would you define the tuplets, one in 10, and one in 12? Note that they both have the same rests at the end of the measure. (It's in 4/8.)

Mike Rosen,

Take a look at the attached Finale document.

Perhaps it is just me, but I do not see any tuplet problems - the rhythmical values add up just fine.

I'm a bit confused. Peter's example uses 64th notes, and your example uses 32nd notes. Which do you want?

The 32nd rests are part of the tuplet. Each tuplet is n 32nds in the space of one eighth when you press Alt-9 in Simple entry.
