I can't imagine to whom you might be referring, motet. (Minding my p's and q's of course.) :D

Anders, I feel the same way. Forums like this are contributing greatly to world peace and understanding.

I can think of one very prominent authority figure who has trouble getting a coherent sentence out.
For a moment I thought you were referring to 'Ubu Roi', because he's fictitious. But then, for the same reason, maybe not.

Back to the subject — sort of, Finale has a problem with tuplets, though.
Try this: in speedy entry use the option to fill an incomplete measure with rests. Then create an incomplete tuplet (on a Mac: option-3 and type the number 4 twice) at the end of a measure. Exit the (incomplete) measure and see how Finale 'completes' the tuplet.
That's computing on a level unbeknown to me.

Not to mention copying and pasting tuplets. The result would even stun Ferneyhough.
