Hello, everybody. When I notate non-standard tuplets, I'd like to indicate how many "normal" notes that tuplet takes up. For example, if I have a quintuplet played in place of four 16th notes, then I'd like the notation to read "5:4" above the stems.
I am using the simple input method (mouse clicks) and adding odd-note groupings by typing "option + 9" then writing how many notes are to be played in place of how many notes. (btw I am using a Macbook).
As an example, I am writing a snare drum piece that has two quintuplets played over two groups of three 16th notes and then another quintuplet that's played over four 16th notes. But without having them written as "5:3, 5:3, 5:4," there's no way for someone to tell how they're supposed to be grouped. I have tried googling this and looking at the documentation but I can't find anything. I have attached two pictures below of what I am talking about.
I want to write this kind of notation:
But I can only get finale to write just the 5, 5, 5:
Thank you for any help!
How to notate tuplets with colons (3:2, 4:3, 5:4, etc)?
