Special tuplets on tied rhythms
Im trying to create a click track out of some complex rhythms which includes many different kind of tuplets. custom tuplets is very handy and I managed to achieve good results. BUT, there were few cases in which I hit the wall: in order to custom tuplet you should select a note duration equaling the total duration of the tuplet. what happens when the duration in mind is impossible to create in one note?
for example: I want to create a tuplet of four 1/16 notes on a time duration of 5/16. in other words 4:5. connecting 1/4 + 1/16 and choosing them will not give possibility to create a tuplet. connecting 1/8+dotted 1/8 gives the same result - nothing.
Representation of rhythms connected in a tie is not tuplettable... is there a way to represent 5 something in one note? would be a huge surprise to discover!
is there a workaround?
Many thanks in advance,
Dan

Thank you very much, it works indeed and solve the problem in a complex measures.
Now the only question is how you create these kind of tuplets on both sides on a barline?
With your example: wouldn't it work by creating a quarter note with a double augmentation dot and pressing ctrl+4?

5/16 is not the same as a douple dotted quarter, which is 7/16, if I get the math right?
"Representation of rhythms connected in a tie is not tuplettable"
If your tie crosses a barline, then I don't think you can create a tuplet which spans a barline.
But if your notes are all within the same measure, there is surely no problem?

indeed no problem here. but i wanted to have the other way around (last measure):

You can achieve this, but it involves splitting the measure:
[EDIT]
Instead of hiding the barline, it seems that you can join the last two 5/16 measures into a single 10/16 measure. I fully expected MuseScore to crash at that point, but the score saves, closes and re-opens correctly.

Jojo, you type so much faster than I can! ;-)
And joining the two measures is a much cleaner solution, thank you.

Also you've changed the 5/16th into 4/16th somewhere along the line (in the 3rd and 5th system actually), check my updated file above and compare to your's when changing the tuple number to relation

"...you've changed the 5/16th into 4/16th somewhere"
Oh dear, that was a failed attempt before I realised that it was necessary to split the measure. And I meant to revert that change. The dangers of copy-and-paste!
Others readers: please use Jojo's corrected score example!
