By default, tuplet numbers/ratios are drawn in a bold, italic, Arabic font that is similar in appearance to fingerings. You can change the font used for all tuplet numbers/ratios project-wide. This also affects the appearance of note value indications.

Procedure

  1. Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-E to open Engraving Options.
  2. In the category list, click Tuplets.
  3. In the Number and Ratio section, choose one of the following options for Tuplet digit style:
    • Bold weight

    • Regular weight

    • Plain font

  4. Click Apply, then Close.

Result

The font used for tuplet numbers/ratios project-wide is changed.

Tip

You can edit different aspects of the font styles used for tuplets, such as their font size, in the Edit Font Styles dialog.

  • Bold weight and Regular weight are both based on the Tuplet Font style, which must be SMuFL-compliant.

  • Plain font uses the Tuplet Plain Font style, which can be any text font.
