Tuplets can't cross barlines

• Jul 27, 2016 - 03:28

On the score The World Adventure if you try to copy and paste to another score a message will appear saying that tuplets can't cross barlines when no tuplets are crossing barlines. The score I am trying to paste to has the exact same time signiture. It has nothing to do with the number of instruments. //musescore.com/user/78712/scores/2151511

In order to help, we'd need precise steps to reproduce the problem. In general, those message are sometimes a bit too generic. It might not be a tuplet physically crossing a barline, but could be some other issue that would make it difficult/impossible to represent directly (nested tuplets, etc).

I get that error message if I paste from your score with a pickup bar into an empty score without a pickup bar.

If I create a pickup bar with 1 beat in my empty score and copy your entire score it works for me. If I select all but the pickup measure in your score into an empty score with all 4/4 bars it works for me.

I have the same problem. I tried to copy and paste these first four measures at the beginning, and I got "Tuplets can't cross barlines". I can copy these same four measures anywhere else, but not at the beginning.

The tuplet is in the second measure. Is it crossing a barline? All of Me first four measures.docx

I found the problem and the solution: somehow, a single 3-beat measure was mixed in with all the 4-beat measures. I deleted the 3-beat measure, inserted one with 4 beats, and the triplet worked just fine.

The question is how I inadvertently turned a 4-beat measure into a 3-beat measure. I must have "instructed" MuseScore to do this, but I don't know how I did that.
