Hi - anyone know how to create tuplets across the beat, in this case four consecutive beats in a measure of 4/4 - so there are 15 quavers to a measure of 4/4 time. This is not about creating them across the bar or measure, but within the measure. 123,123,123,123,123. So the beats would fall on tuplets 1 in the first group of three; 2 in the second group; 3 in the third group; and 1 in the last group.

Cheers

Oops! Apologies - my mistake. They're not tuplets - just 1/16th notes with a final 1/8th note. Doh!

If I'm not misunderstanding, you just want to adjust the beaming of your score. You can do that through the beaming quickpad. Just click over to the beaming option (either mouse onto the beam option on the quickpad, or push ++ from the main editing screen) then highlight the note you want to be the end of your beamed group and then click on the end beam icon. Then, click the new start beam grouping and select the start beam icon. It takes a little getting used to, but after a few groupings it makes a lot of sense.
