Tuple in common time through 2,5 beats
Hello, I'm currently transcribing a piece in common time where a 32-note tuple is used with a duration of 2,5 beats. How can I do that in musescore?
Thank you :)

Create a measure with the desired duration, select the measure rest, use use Add / Tuplets / Other to create the 32-tuplet, choosing the appropriate ratio to get the desired note value.

Are you suggesting that I create another measure with 2,5 beats to make the tuplet, but what about the other staff? Doesn't that imply that the left hand staff is empy?

You will need to precede the 2.5 beat tuplet measure with a 1.5 beat measure. You can join the two measures. See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/pickup-and-non-metered-measures#joi…. You will then have a 4 beat measure.

Thank you for your response. By doing what you said and Marc, I got this (see image) but I dont have a measure rest so I can aply the tuplet

Since it's 2,5 beats I created a bar with a 5/8 marking

do that first
1 create 2.5 beat measure
2 create tuplet
3 create 1.5 beat measure
4 join measures

But how can I create the tuplet when I have 2 rests in the measure?

You create a temporary 5/8 measure somewhere after the measure you are working on, maybe even at the end of the piece. Then make your tuplet, copy and paste to where you want it and delete the 5/8 measure.

ok, breaking it down a bit further
1 create 2.5 beat measure.
2 Select the measure and press delete. Be sure to select the measure rather than the individual rests. The measure should be within a blue selection rectangle
You should now have a 2.5 beat measure with a whole measure rest (i.e what looks like a whole note rest but centred in the measure).
4 insert a measure before the 2.5 beat measure
5 select that newly inserted measure and adjust its duration to make it 1.5 beats long
6 join the measures
7 enter the other notes

Maybe I'm just not proficient with this software (thank you for all your help though), but when I try to do what you said I get an error message saying: "Cannot create a tuplet 32/8 for the duration 5/8", maybe it's just me that's misinterpreting the time signature, but what I want is 32-note tuplet during 2,5 beats.

Indeed, 32:8 is not a meaningful ratio here. Consider, eight 32nd notes would only be one beat. You need to select a value that actually makes sense for 2.5 beats. There are actually twenty 32nd notes in 2.5 beats. So the ratio need to be 32:20 to get thiry-two 32nd notes. if you wanted sixteenths, you'd use 32:10, since there are ten 16th notes in 2.5 beats. The first number of the ratio is the number of notes you want; the second is, how many notes of the desired note value would normally fit in the total duration. That's not a MuseScore-specific thing; that's how tuplets work in music when ratios are shown.

You don't. You have 1 rest which is a full bar rest.
