Can someone tell me how to (or point me to the correct section of the handbook) to change a sequence of 1/16-1/8-1/16 to 3 triplets?
It seems that pressing CMD-3 inserts new triplets which isn't exactly what I want to do.
Thanks.

first turn those 3 notes into one, by selecting the first and changing the length to a quarter. Then use the procedure described in the handbook
Hmm, hold on, that creates one triplet out of the previous 3 notes, you wanted 3 triplets?
Select the fist, shift select the last, Ctrl-3 (Cmd-3 on a Mac)
Still not what you want?

If I select all three notes then press CMD-3, i get 9 triplets, not 3. Sorry, but that's not what I want. Basically the rhythm is wrong on the notes on the page and I'd like to change them to triplets. I'd like to keep the notes the same ( A B C etc) but change the rhythm. (1/16-1/8-1/16 to triplets).

I get 3 triplets, with 3 notes each
I guess that is what you mean?
There's no way to turn existing notes into triplets, so just use the 1st method I described and re-enter the notes

Hi Jojo, that's really too bad as I have 50 or so of these to do, and they are all pretty complex cords. It is hard to believe this is impossible. it seems possible to change quarter notes to half notes, etc, by selecting the note and pressing the half-note icon.
The original problem was that I imported a midi file, and not sure why but it the import lost the triplets. I didn't notice it until I got well into the piece. I.e., after editing lots of stuff on the first couple of pages, I notice on the 3rd page that all the triplets are missing.
:-(

How exact is your MIDI file? Was it quantized? The 2.0 MIDI import capabilities will be much improved, so it's more likely this wouldn't be an issue.
