Hi, I use stems with tab staves and am wondering how to get the tuplet number to show just above the beam. Works great on normal staff tho.
Thanks!

For me the 3 appears above the beam. Where does it show for you? Can you post an example?

highlife66,

If you need the TAB staff to show tuplets, then you must select the the option ‘Show Tuplets’:

Special Tools Tool > sub-tool Secondary Beam Break Tool
Click inside the staff/measure, to make handles appear on the notes.
Double-click the handle after the desired beam break.

In the dialog box Secondary Beam Break Selection, choose to Break Through 16th.
