changing the appearance of a tuplet

[zopatow]

Hi,

Is there a way to change the font of a tuplet number? I know that I can change the line width in House Style>Edit Lines, but I haven't figured out where (or if) I can control the number itself.

Also, is there any way to change the height of the vertical stems of the tuplet? It doesn't seem possible to grab an end and resize, that just results in changing the angle of the tuplet.

thanks,
Mark

House Style->Edit Text Styles->Tuplets allows you to change the font. To change the height, grab the beam itself and drag it up.

Thanks for the info about the Text Styles dialog, that's very helpful.

I'm still not able to move the vertical stems of the tuplet. Grabbing an end only allows me to move the angle of the tuplet or move the entire tuplet. What I would like to do is shorten the stems of the tuplet - purely for aesthetics.

thanks,
Mark

You can do this (for all tuplets in a score) via House Style>Edit Lines...

The tuplet line (showing as a triplet, but it affects all) is down the staff lines list a bit.

Hope that helps
