What about this example he gives:
For the record, here’s what I used to be able to do in Encore that I
can’t in Sibelius: Henry Cowell, in his masterful 1930 book New
Musical Resources, suggested that “tuplets,” as they’re now called
in computerese (and we needed a word for that), don’t necessarily
need to come in groups. For instance, say you have five quintuplet
8th-notes and three triplet quarter-notes in a 4/4 bar. Why not have
two of the quintuplet 8th-notes, then one of the triplet
quarter-notes, then another quintuplet 8th-note, and so on? Very
difficult for humans to sort out, but the computer plays them
beautifully. I wrote a 1999 piece called Folk Dance for Henry Cowell
based on the idea, and I can’t renotate it into Sibelius, because
too-smart-for-my-own-good Sibelius won’t let me insert a note from
another tuplet in-between quarter-note triplets. Pokey-looking
little Encore didn’t realize I was doing anything unusual, and
didn’t raise any fuss.
Is this doable in Finale? I first thought that you could do it with
layers, but then realized that this would require rests for placement
of the offset tuplets, but those won't work any better than
incomplete tuplets.
Is this undoable in Finale as well, except graphically?
