Tuplet
Hi
the time signiture is 6/4 I know you can do a triplet but how do you do one that only has 2, 1/8 beat notes? I have tried doing it with a 1/4 note and pressing ctl + 2 but that gives me 2, 1/16 notes and a 2 over them and you can not change the rest that is in the tuplet to a note. If you do a 1/4note and press ctl + 3 then you get the triple and can change the rests to the required note and ther is a 3 over the top.
I hope I am explainting this ok and some one can help.

Could you describe more clearly what you want? It sounds like you are trying to write two eighths notes on one beat of a 6/4 measure with a duplet bracket over them. The duplet bracket would be notationally redundant since 6/4 time already has two eighth notes per beat.
Hi
It is the bar of which there are similar one through out the score, they say a picture is better than a 1000 words.
Cheers
In reply to here is an example of what I need to put into the score by stevej
First enter a note with the base len of your tuplet, a dotted quarter note. Select the note and go to Notes->Tuplets->OtherTuplets. In the tuplet dialog set "actual notes" to 2 and "normal notes" to 3. Click OK and the desired tuplet will be created. Select the rest in the tuplet and enter a-g to replace it with a note.

Seems to work okay if you enter a dotted quarter and then use Notes->Tuplets->Duplet.
