I think you could just turn off "Check for Extra Notes" in the Simple menu. To set up your tuplets in Simple, you would press either ctrl-9 or alt-9 (Windows) - I don't remember which. Then you'd specify 3 quarters in the space of 2, and from then on you could just enter it as a half note followed by a quarter. For Finale 2003 and earlier, Speedy Entry is generally best for triplets. Tyler __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
