Richard, that is it! For some reason this didn't work the last time I tried this (the beamlet changed length), but it works perfectly in 2010! This can be copied from measure to measure as well, so if it shows up many times, Dennis can just copy the edit without the notes. Great! Christophe

If you must use a tuplet instead of a time signature of 12/8 as four dotted wuaters, then you have to use the Broken Beam Tool to switch the sixteenth beamlet to the other side. > Here's my beaming problem. I have a piece in common time > where some of the beats use the typical rhythm of a 12/8

Is your 12/8 not set up in the Time Signature dialog box as 4 dotted quarters? Also, your jpg link is broken. Richard Yates > Here's my beaming problem. I have a piece in common time > where some of the beats use the typical rhythm of a 12/8 time > sig: dotted 8th + 16th + 8th in the value o
