Tuplets to triplets
Is there a way to automate triplets throughout all the bars of a piece. It's tedious to Select Notes-Tuplets-Triplets for each bar. Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring is entirely triplets.

Create rests of the suitable base length, select all these rests, press Ctrl+3

Thank you. That was really helpful. I received three responses to my question and tried each one, They all worked.
Alternatively, create one triplet group then select all its members and press and hold the 'r' key. Then go back and enter notes to replace the rests.

Thanks, that was easy and fast.
Or, you could simply consider notating it in 9/8, as is common.

Thank you. I did a song in 9/8 and it worked fine. But I wanted to try Jesu Joy in 3/4 to try to master writing the triplets in different constructs. 9/8 is much easier.
Just a note - you *never* need to use the menu to create triplets. Ctrl+3 does the trick. But in addition, if you are creating a lot of them, doing so all at once the way Jojo describes is a good idea.

Thanks Marc. Your suggestion worked and saved me a lot of time.
