The piece I'm engraving is in 6/8 time. For some reason Sibelius will not allow me to enter the 8 tuplet as it appears in the attachment. It should allow me to enter up to an 11 tuplet, but I keep getting the message that the tuplet i to long to fit. Is it possible this is a bug?

Sorry for the mis-spelling of tuplet.

I need to report this topic as a bug because Sibelius refuses to notate this tuplet with the correct number of beams. I'm attaching a sample of what the program will notate, which is incorrect: there should be only two beams with a time meter of 6/8. I hope they will fix this very soon.

You can't report anything here, as this is an unofficial forum and no-one from Sibelius or Avid visits the site.

Haven't got time to investigate your 'problem' right now, but you may be able to force the issue using a tuplet ratio. Just a thought.

For more guidance, visit the official Sibelius chat pages.

Thanks for the ratio suggestion—it worked!
