Hi again Michael,
GOT IT!!! Finally.......I remembered something about alt + 9 in Simple
Entry. I entered the first 1/8 note and hit alt + 9 while it was still
selected......that brought up a different looking dialog box called "Simple
Entry tuplet definition". I set what I wanted, pressed save as, and now all
is well! Opened a new score which worked again.
None of this could have happened for me without your help since you gave me
enough ideas on where to look for the solution. Thanks again for you taking
the time to help me.
George

George,
Would it help if you submit a support question to the company?
Thanks,

Hi Michael,
What you suggested with Speedy works real good except it works only
once. I have to hit control+3 on each set of 1/8 note triplets. I tried to
hit caps lock first to hold all the notes to triplets to no avail.
I use 'Simple Entry' almost always and is where I ran into the problem.
What I'd really wish I could do is be able to select 'Set Default' in the
'tuplet definition menu' and make it stay 1/8 triplets as a default but, it
keeps going back to: 3 eighths in the space of 2 eighth notes (instead of 3
eighths in the space of 1 quarter note). There's got to be some way to set
the default and make it stick, especially since it was that way originally.
I can work around all this but, it is real time consuming.
Thanks for all your help. If you run across a way to make the default to
stay in Simple entry, could you let me know?
Thanks again,
George

I would guess that it should work for all recent versions on either
platform?
I was afraid that might be the case that it would not hold from one instance
to another.
There is probably another preference setting somewhere in the bowels of the
application?
This is what I found in the manual under tuplets:
To en ter tuplets with the Speedy Entry Tool
1. Click the Speedy Entry Tool image\Simple_Entry_Tool.gif, and click
the measure in question. The editing frame appears.
2. If MIDI is not being used, place the cursor on the correct pitch.
3. Press option -number in the number keypad. You can press any number
between 2 and 8 to specify the tuplet value that you’re about to enter. When
you do so, the number you pressed appears in the upper right corner of the
editing frame, telling you that Finale is ready to group the next notes you
enter as a tuplet defined by that number. If you need to enter a more
complex tuplet (or want to specify a particular bracket or slur
configuration), press option –1, and the Tuplet Definition dialog box will
appear (see Tuplet Definition dialog box ).
4. Enter the notes of the tuplet. The value of the first note you enter
tells Finale whether you’re entering an eighth-note tuplet, quarter-note
tuplet, and so on. Finale automatically groups them and brackets them
according to the default visual tuplet settings (see “ To predefine the
appearance of tuplets , ” below). To enter many tuplets in a row, see To
enter many notes of the same value (hands-free MIDI method) .
Have you looked here, yet?
Michael

I tried that but it won't stay in the setting I chose. I can do it with one
set of triplets but, it won't stay that way even though I selected the
default button. By the way, I forgot to mention that I am using WinFin 2006b
but, it still should work the same shouldn't it? How can I get it to stay as
a default. I tried to find a way to set it in the 'document options but,
couldn't a way to do that either.

I'm on FinMac2K7, and IIRC, you double click the tuplet tool and set your
defaults in the resulting dialog box.
