You can show individual tuplet numbers/ratios at either the visual or rhythmic horizontal center of tuplets, independently of your project-wide setting. 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 Graphic Editing button is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

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

Procedure

  1. Select the tuplets or the signposts of tuplets whose tuplet number/ratio horizontal position you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Center in the Tuplets group.
  3. Choose one of the following options:
    • Visual

    • Rhythmic

Result

The horizontal position of tuplet numbers/ratios on the selected tuplets is changed. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.

  • Visual positions tuplet numbers/ratios at the visual center of the tuplet.

  • Rhythmic positions tuplet numbers/ratios at the rhythmic center of the tuplet, which might be visually off-center.

Tip
  • Deactivating the property returns tuplets to your project-wide setting.

  • You can change the horizontal position of tuplet numbers/ratios on all tuplets project-wide in the Number and Ratio section of the Tuplets page in Engraving Options.
