Tuplet problem
I'm trying to get 16 sixteenth notes within a full 3/4 measure, but Musescore isn't letting me, for some reason. I did exactly what the manual told me to do, but it never comes out right! I always get rests left over! Please help!
This question should be simple enough that I don't need to upload a score. If not, well, too bad! I still need help!
Thanks in advance.

can you copy and paste it on the left rest?
do you have doubts about this: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/tuplet#custom-tuplets ?

I did exactly what those instructions said. I selected the rest (which, in this case, is a whole rest), went to Notes, then Tuplets, then other, and put 16/4 in there. But instead of the sixteenth notes filling up the entire measure (meaning no rests left over), this is what I get instead. The same thing happens if I change the rest to a dotted half rest before doing that. How do I get rid of the extra rests?

it works in a relation of 16/12 (12=3x4 (quarter notes)).

It worked! Thanks!
I do wish, though, that it didn't have to be that complicated. Oh, well. I guess it'll have to do until later developments make it better.

It's not that complicated to me. You want to put 16 notes in a given time period. You want those notes to be shown as 16th notes, so you use that as a timebase for the relation. In 3/4 time, there would normally fit 12 16ths in 3 beats (4 16ths for each beat, so 3x4=12).
The relation thus becomes 16/12.
You say you wish this would be more clear in a future version; could you explain what would be easiers/more clear in your opinion?

I don't expect the rules of math or music to change any time soon., If you want 16 notes in the same of 12, that's the way it would have been notated in 1700 or 2000 and will probably be the same in 2300 as well :-)
