5 spaces closer to the perceived center of the beam groups, as shown in this example: While not entirely intuitive, the entry value for “spaces from stem of first note” controls the positioning of the tuplet number when stems are down, while “spaces from stem of last note” moves the tuplet number when stems are up. Locate the “Horizontal Distance From Notes” section. To move the tuplet numbers left or right globally, go into Engraving Rules, and select the Tuplet panel. This works for notes, stems, articulations, slurs and similar objects towards the end of a project to Sebelius. Note that both the triplet and sextuplet numbers appear slightly to the left of the middle notehead and stem if the stems are down, and to the right of the middle notehead and stem if the stems are up: This will flip in object around the other way.

Here is what the Default tuplet positioning looks like in Sibelius. Flip the Stem do lots of important work within the sector, so we were thrilled to sit down with Jenny for a chat about who FTS is, what they want to. Default tuplet positioning is controlled from Engraving Rules in Sibelius 6 and 7. Supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England, Flip the Stem are an exciting new classical music organisation who are dedicated to popularising history’s marginalised composers. However, it is rare to use three voices or layers and extremely rare to use four layers. It is common to use two voices/layers in drums, piano and vocal parts. If you wanted to cross beam from the lower stave use CMND or CNTL-SHFT-Up Arrow. This will move the notes to the lower stave. Q: Is there a way in Sibelius to align the tuplet number with the middle note of a tuplet group? The way Sibelius places the number always looks incorrect to me.Ī: Yes. Both programs have the capability of using up to four independent parts in one staff using four different Voices (Sibelius) or Layers (Finale). Write them in one stave, so in your example it would be the top one, select the notes you want to cross beam and hit CMND-SHFT-Down Arrow (mac) or CNTL-SHFT-Down Arrow (Win).
