I did find two rather laborious methods to change existing 16th notes to triplets. One was to select the Simple Entry tool, set it to 16ths (3 key) and tuplets (9 key) and click individually on the first note of each group, being careful NOT to click above or below the note, as this would add an extra pitch.
The second (much better) way is to select the tuplet tool, click the first note, set the tuplet up the way I want it, and hit OK. I click next on the first note of the NEXT group, and the tuplet I had set up is now the default, and I only have to hit Return to apply it. Repeat until carpal tunnel syndrome sets in as it still amounts to a hundred or so click-returns for Charles Small.
What the heck had I done last month to accomplish this?
Sorry for the red herring.

I didn't write the original question but I was interested in seeing if what you said would indeed work on a measure of existing 16th notes (turning them into tuplets). I repeated your steps and for me it did not work the way you said. After setting Caps Lock and doing Option-3, I hit the 3 key on the first note and...nothing. If I held it down, still nothing. The frame blipped each time but the cursor didn't advance and tuplets weren't created. So... I dunno!

No problem changing time sig and converting to tuplets one tuplet at a time, BUT: is there a way to select a region and "tupletize" the whole region in one go? Thanks, Ch.S. (PS-- Finale 2000c, Mac)
The Caps lock button in Speedy will do this.
Speedy Tool, open the frame on the first measure. Set Caps lock. Hit Opt 3 for triplets. Hit 3 for sixteenths and hold it down, letting it auto-repeat. When you are done, change the time sig to 3/4.
