How to make triplet '3' symbol invisible.

• Oct 15, 2016 - 17:15

Hi everyone, I'm using 2.0.3 to do a transcription of a guitar piece called Romance. The piece could be described as being in 9/8, but I prefer to use a 3/4 time signature and notate using 8th note triplets (similar to how the Moonlight Sonata is often notated). The only issue is that the entire piece is full of notes with the '3' symbol, indicating the triplets, and it looks a little bit untidy. My aim was to include the triplet symbols in the first one or two bars only, and then leave them out thereafter, the idea being that the same rhythm would continue throughout the piece (although it would be technically incorrect). I tried simply selecting and deleting the unwanted '3' symbols, but this deletes all of the notes as well. I looked for a way to set them as invisible but was unable to find a way. I also tried manipulating the time signature properties but this led to more complications. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot! Grant

Select them and press v(isible/invisible).

Select it and in Inspector chose number type none. I think, can check myself right now, being away from my computer. Or select and hit v or use the inspector to make it invisible.

See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/tuplet#inspector, it is Number type and needs to get set to Nothing, additionally Bracket type to Nothing too.
How to select multiple triplets is described below.

1) Right-click on a triplet -> Select -> All similar elements.
So, all triplets are highlighted
2) Now: press Ctrl and click on each triplet in the first measure (or two first) for unselect them (image below) -> Release Ctrl -> Press "V" -> Escape.

If wished, to complete: View -> Untick "Show invisible"

Hi to everyone who replied, thanks so much, I didn't realise it was that easy sorry. I'd only seen that 'set invisible' by right-clicking before, so I didn't think it was possible for the triplets. Anyway, thanks again :-)
