Deleting tuplets causes vanishing notes.

• Dec 12, 2023 - 20:56

Imporing from MIDI, I tend to get five-tuplets when it should really be just a three-tuplet (triplet). Also, sometimes I get two triplets next to each other rather than one triplet, and other things.
This is all just quirks of the recognition system though, needing usual cleanup like any MIDI importer.

The problem comes with trying to delete these. If I select the tuplet, and press delete, it does get deleted. However, Musescore now pretends that beat dosen't exist, a rest isn't put in place like you'd expect.
When playing the music back, it's treated as a rest, but when editing there's nothing there to click.

Searching around there's mention of this and that "it should be fixed in version 3.6", but we're at 4.0 now.
I can't imagine deleting a triplet is a rare thing for someone to do, so I'm a bit suprised to not find others mentioning this. Is there some other way to remove these triplets I'm unaware of?

How are you deleting the tuplet? Just clicking on the number and hitting [Del] should delete it and leave a rest, as should selecting the notes and pressing [Del] but if you used [Ctrl][Del] then it will remove the notes and the timeslot that they occupied.

Clicking the number and just pressing delete, yeah.
So, the ability to delete timeslots is an actual feature? Guess there must be a way to insert them then… research time.

Also I note you're on a newer version than me (4.0.1), think I need to poke Muse Hub into actually doing it's job :P (I'm running Musescore on Winders as getting it to work on my Void Linux setup wasn't fun, had no audio in the end, and for some reason it just crashes now.)
