You can show round parentheses or square brackets on individual tuplet numbers/ratios; for example, to indicate editorial tuplet markings. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only, or for all layouts and frame chains.

Prerequisite
  • The lower zone is shown.

  • Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

  • If you are in Engrave mode, Graphic Editing is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

  • You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.

Procedure
  1. Select the tuplet numbers/ratios that you want to parenthesize. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Ratio bracket type in the Tuplets group.
  3. Select one of the following options from the menu:
    • Parentheses (italic)

    • Parentheses (roman)

    • Brackets (italic)

    • Brackets (roman)

Result

The corresponding type of parentheses are shown around each selected tuplet number/ratio. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.
