Making triplets (3 quarter notes covering 2 quarter beats)
It's difficult finding where I can place 3 notes in the space of 2 quarter notes. I can see how to do 3 eighths for a quarter, but not 3 quarter notes for 2 quarter notes. Does this make any sense?

Create a minim (half-note) note or rest , then hit Ctrl+3.

In general, first create a single note of the desired duration. Then, you can actually turn it into an n-tuplet: a triplet (3 subdivisions), or more.
