The Sibelius Forum

There is no phone support to Avid. It's quicker and easier to use the official avid community board. In any case, they already know about this issue and have corrected it in the latest update 2024.3.1.

Try Renotate performance. That might help. Don't know if it handles tuplets, though.

Select bar. Reset design, reset position, select just the semiquavers press x. It works erratically. Beginning to wonder if this is a bug...

Can't help you with that question. I'm not a programmer!

In the image, you show a bar with two rhythms. You say the first beat is wrong and it should be like the 2nd beat. If so, copy the 2nd beat rhythm onto the first beat, replacing the rhythm already there ([ctrl]c, [ctrl]v) then use the up/down arrows to change the pitch. It's not difficult.

Use the inspector.
Input the first quaver.
Click the tuplet button and choose other.
Input the ratio 4:3
Set the number option to number
Set the bracket option to bracket
Done.
The next time you do this in this sibelius session it should continue with the same ratio (ie [ctrl]4).

Change it in the inspector. Select a note in the group and find the tuplet pane and change it to number - it must currently be set to ratio.

" I don't type, I change the rhythm." How did the notes get there in the first place? Who put the triplet in? "I need to make another rhythm with these notes." Copy the rhythm from the next beat and then delete the first demisemiquaver. "TBH, I wanted to copy noteheads and paste." You can't do that...

Sometimes the note controlling the stem direction isn't the one you think it is. I managed to get the gropup to flip by pressing x on the first note. I had to reset design and reset position ([ctrl][shift]d, [ctrl][shift]p) and then try again. I also managed to flip it with the whole group selected....

When you say "they are already there" how? Did you use photoscore? If so, change the setting for tuplet recognition to not read triplets.

As I said, do it before moving the notes!

If you don't want triplets, don't put them in.
You can't undo them except by hand.

Just a thought - have you already locked the format of these bars? That could be why the other notes are not adjusting to give a better looking result. Select just the bar with the notes you want to move and then press [ctrl][shift]n (reset note spacing). Then move the semiquaver. Do the other notes...

1. Select the bar which is to start the new exercise and open the Inspector. Look for Gap Before Bar and set it to a suitable value. 2. Insert the TS using the [ctrl/cmd]t method or use the rt click menu. In the TS dialog, there is an option to show cautionary sigs. Uncheck this box. With a TS that ...

Well, that did not happen with my example. If, however, you are having this issue, move the crotchets instead. Use a positive value - probably +1.16
What engraving rule option are you using?
