Hemiola rhythm
Hello all, I'm trying to notate 4 triplet groupings in the span of one measure of 3/4 time. How do I do this? I'm stumped!

start with the duration of a dotted half note
Ctrl-4 to split it into 4
Then select those 4 rests and Ctrl-3 to make each of them a triplet.
Maybe my math is off, but 4 triplets = 12 notes, which is the exact number of sixteenths you get in 3/4 time without resorting to tuplets inside tuplets, or indeed any tuplets at all. The term "hemiola" is indeed accurate here. I would just enter the twelve sixteenths and call it good. At most, I might conider changing the beaming to be in groups of three using the Beam Properties palette, but honestly I think this will just cause unnecessary confusion.

Ah yes, the obvious solution :)
Probably should find my bed now...
Maybe that's what you mean.

4 in 3?

2 in 3 (most common)
