Help with tuplets

• Jun 30, 2016 - 00:11

I was able to figure out how to use the custom tuplet feature in MuseScore, but I am having trouble with the note duration. I was able to change the half notes I got into quarter notes with the Inspector, but there was apparently no option to give beams to the notes to make them the sixteenth notes I needed. If I change them to sixteenth notes, it changes the actual duration of the note, not just the appearance of the note.
Please help-- I need this for a major composition.

Can you attach the actual MSCZ file, and a picture of what you're actually trying to achieve?

I attached the picture in the comments. I don't want to give the mcsz file because it will show the world my composition. Hopefully the pic will show you the problem

Can you attach just this measure in a mscz? What's the time signature? What sort of tuplet do you want? You probably don't need to change the notehead type.

Eventually, the world will need to see your composition if you want it to be played...

You could just copy the relevant measure into a fresh score. We really need to know the time signature to be able to help, but here's how it would look in 4/4. I used a tuplet of 9 instead of 18 because you only included 9 notes in your picture.

A 2-beat 9 note tuplet is beamed automatically in 4/4. If you use a different time signature then you'll need to tell us what it was or attach an example.
