duplets triplets
having done the duplet a dot c I want the demisemiquaver triplet g d c, but both are each time connecting 
whatever I do, always the same. What can I do ? This happens often ...
In the duplet a is not taking the dot.

Highlight the first note of the triplet. Apple "beam start" property to it.

ok, doing that, but I don't see "Time Signature Properties…;" anywhere. Workspace is advanced..

I think you fond the wrong thing. BTW, the time signature properties link was to explain how to manually change a beam. You are not likely to set a good beam pattern in 4/4 time that would do what you wanted to break the beam between the duplet and triplet.

can you explain, please ? Is it the time or the tuplets ? Presently doing another, I keep changing 6/8 and 4/4 but the problem remains.

The picture above this reply looked like the triplet and duplet were on strange off beats. If you changed the beaming properties to do this automatically, you would probably end up with beams not being connected where they normally should be.
Your responses after this reply seem to indicate the problem was more related to improperly creating tuplets (generic for duplet, triplet...). You now seem to have a grasp on that, so perhaps if the tuplets start on normal beats, you could set default beaming to be helpful.

thank you-that could explain why it often works or sometimes not.

doing it again this time on simple quavers, nothing helps. In the middle of the score has been working fine all along, suddenly not any more. 2 duplets joining to a quadruplet . Choosing from the menue "duplet" does not help.

I changed the workflow. Add tuplets is creating half the value intentioned. So I set to crotchet if I want quavers and choose duplet. It works, this time.

Highlight the first note of the triplet. Apple "beam start" property to it.
Nowhere does that mention Time Signature Properties. The included link pointed straight to the relevant page in the handbook, heading about how to apply the beam start to a selected note...
