Re: [Finale]: Tuplets

2003-11-23 Thread Harold Owen
Hello, I have hundreds of measures full of 16th notes, in 18/16 time sig. I'd like to convert all this to 16th-note triplets, in 3/4. No problem changing time sig and converting to tuplets one tuplet at a time, BUT: is there a way to select a region and "tupletize" the whole region in one go?

Dang, I was SURE I had done this about a month ago! I tried it again (same version of Finale as always, FinMac 2003) and it didn't work! I did find two rather laborious methods to change existing 16th notes to triplets. One was to select the Simple Entry tool, set it to 16ths (3 key) and tuplet

Well I'll be darned -- I never went that extra step. I figured that Finale already knew that my first note that I was hitting ctrl-3 on was a 16th note and figured it just couldn't be done. I wonder why Finale doesn't know that first note already is a 16th note, though. It's certainly displayi

That's true, but Gillette figured that the vast majority of people wouldn't bother making their own since the price of manufactured razor blades is so cheap. I'm sure that's the logic behind iTunes being free -- most people aren't going to buy CDs anymore and bother ripping the songs they want.
