Wow, Darcy.
My hat is off to you for spending the time to figure out how to do that.
Your ability to get this program to sit up and spit nickels never
fails to amaze me, as it always highlights hidden depths and abilities
of the program which counter some of the frustrations that the more
mundane activities sometimes engender.
Thanks for sharing the solution with us!

Hey all,
Never mind, I figured it out.
For the curious:
First enter the figure as regular quarter notes and eighth notes.
Next, for the bars with partial tuplets, create a "4 quarters in the
space of 6 quarters" tuplet over the entire bar. This turns all quarter
notes in the measures into quarter note triplets.
Next, we need to change the eighth notes into non-tuplet eighth notes.
This can be done by applying a nested tuplet to the eighth notes: "four
eighth notes in the space of sixth eighth notes."
Finally, hide all the triplets and render the partial triplets graphically.
Cheers,

I set out to recreate the brief example from Michael Gordon's "Trance"
(great piece, BTW) in Finale -- with correct playback -- and quickly
hit a brick wall.
The rhythm is (with "e" = eighth note, and "3" = one quarter-note
triplet):
4/4 | e e e e 3 3 3 | 3 e e e e 3 3 | 3 e e e e 3 3 | 3 3 e e e e 3 |
2/4 3 3 3 |
I couldn't figure out how to get Finale to accept the incomplete
quarter note triplet. What I need here "one quarter note in the space
of 2/3rds of a quarter note," but the Finale interface doesn't provide
for that. Is there another way?
Cheers,
