Entering 12/8 tuplets as 3+3+3+3
I'm finding this mentioned in older versions of Musescore (0.9.x), but nothing recent, so I feel like I must be doing something wrong.
By all accounts, it appears that the default for entering eighth note triplets 12/8 time is to group the eighth notes into 4 triplets.
However, when I try to do this (using Musescore 2.0.2 on OSX) I get 3 groups of 4 eighth notes.
Can anyone help me? What am I missing.
Thanks in advance.

Just tried a new score and it entered fine. So there must be a problem with the score I'm working on.
I've attached the file, if anyone has time to look at this with me.

Bar 21 Stave 1 incomplete. Expected: 4/4; Found: 14/8

I had a section break right before the 12/8 time. Not sure if that mattered, but when I put a "end bar". on the measure right before the 12/8 then the 12/8 triplet groupings started to behave like I expected them to. So I guess I'm OK with that.. though if I had some spare time right now, I'd try to see if it was the section break that caused the problem, or the changing to 12/8 in the middle of a score.

I removed the error in measure 21;
I deleted the measure 1 (24.Fanfare) and entered the triplets.
It seems to work as expected.

Thanks. I didn't see that error. Thanks

If I right click the 12/8 at "24. Fanfares" and choose Time Signature Properties, I see it is set to group in fours. Not sure how that happened - was this score perhaps imported from the earlier version? Anyhow, you can change it in that same dialog.

Thank you.. I actually didn't realize there was a properties dialog for the Time signature.
