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? ...
Is this doable in Finale?
Set up a 15:16 16th-note tuplet with no number and no bracket. Enter the rhythm E E Q E Q Q E E (several other patterns would also fit the given example, wh. isn't complete, but let's go w. this one). Click on the first E and create the subsidiary tuplet 2 8th-notes in the space of 2 dotted 16th-notes, with no number and no bracket. Do the same for the last two Es. For the middle E, create the subsidiary tuplet 1 8th-note in the space of 1 dotted 16th-note--no number or bracket. For the first Q, create a similar "invisible" tuplet of 1 quarter-note in the space of 5 32nd-notes; for the remaining two Qs, make one with with 2 quarter-notes in the space of 5 16th notes.
Everything will now be properly spaced and will play back correctly. The numbers and brackets you want have to be put in graphically, but that is easy enough to do.
