How do you have one tuplet bracket hook go up and the other go down?
Thanks,

If this only happens a time or two you could make the triplet with no bracket (number only) and then create the bracket you need with the Shape Designer. If it happens a lot that would be a huge pain.

Right click on the tuplet handle and pick Tuplet Definition. In the right hook and left hook settings, one should be a positive number and the other negative.

Greetings!
Can someone tell my why one might need a tuplet bracket with hooks in the opposite direction? The only thing I can think of would be a tuplet bracket in the middle of a harp or piano pair of staves to apply to a triplet on each stave. Am I close?

I've tried this several times now, and even with one hook a negative number and the other a positive number of the same length, both hooks still end up facing the same direction.N Grossingink wrote: ↑Sun Aug 27, 2023 9:09 pmRight click on the tuplet handle and pick Tuplet Definition.

It doesn't make sense to me that one being positive and one negative would have no effect on the directions. Weird!

I've isolated the measure with the triplet in question, in case anyone can see why making one hook length a positive number and one negative is working to making the hooks point in different directions.

Aha! I discovered the missing step. I needed to uncheck "match hook lengths". Now I am able to get them to go in opposite directions.N Grossingink wrote: ↑Sun Aug 27, 2023 9:09 pmRight click on the tuplet handle and pick Tuplet Definition.

Thank you!
