How do I do a triplet
I have lots of books of songs. Unfortunately my eyes are not the best at changing focus so I have trouble reading them. I mostly enter songs I want to learn how to play into MuseScore and them make them very large compared to normal sheet music.
I have figured out how to use almost all the functions. There are a couple that still give me fits. One is triplets. How do I enter and designate a triplet? I have searched on both "triplet" and the more general term "tuplet" and it is only returning music scores with triplets and tuplets.

first enter the "lenght-duration" of your triplet. For exemple if you want a triplet of eight notes in 1 time, you must ask your triplet on something during 1 time : a quater note or a rest for 1 time, so , if you are on a whole rest or a whole note, click on it and press "5", so , you get a one time silence or a 1 time note. Click on it and tape CTRL+3 and your "1 time" give you a "triplet" of 3 1/2 silences, you have only to enter your 3 notes on each. If you have to repeat this triplet, select it (first and shift+last note, it becomes blue, press R, you get a second. If you select the 2 triplets and press R, you get 4, and if you select the whole measure and R, you get a second measure. After you change the pitch.
Hi,
'' I have searched on both "triplet" and the more general term "tuplet" and it is only returning music scores with triplets and tuplets. ''
Then you probably have searched using the big search facility on top of the musescore.org site.
Unfortunately this searches the other site musescore.com :-(
You must search using the spyglass in the menu bar next to the word "Activity".
(or use google with that search string:
tuplet site:musescore.org
that's by far the quickest way to get the most relevant MuseScore tuplet help listed as the first search results)
I have searched on both "triplet" and the more general term "tuplet"
When I open the Handbook (https://musescore.org/en/handbook) accessed through the Support menu at the top of this page (you may have to scroll up to see it) and search using the spyglass I get 11 results, all in the handbook, when I search "tuplet." They seem to be listed with the newest update first, so the Piano Roll Editor is first and the Table of Context is second.
