sixteenth over dotted 8ths

• Feb 8, 2013 - 11:41

Hello,

i want to write sixteenths notes over dotted eigths. In the attached example write it down in 5/4 time. This is not right. It schould be in 4/4. Is this in musescore possible?

Thank you very much for every tip.

Yes it is. I'm not sure how you did what the picture shows, but I guess you created a 5/4 measure with an actual duration of 4/4. Or your tuplett just looks like one but is not? (You'd need a quadruplet, in the space of a dotted half note here, "N 6 . Ctrl-4") .
Attaching a score instead is usually more usefull

Hi,

thank you for your quick reply. Yes in my example i only wrote 5 groups of sixteenths.

With your advice i managed it. Thanks a lot.

What do you mean with "Attaching a score instead is usually more usefull"?
I´m new to musescore, so i don´t know what you mean.

Hi again,

is it also possible to make a notation over the barline?
I attached the the score so you can see what i mean.
In the first bar i have this 4 over three pattern. In the second bar
i have the same pattern but i want to repeat it, so it goes over the barline
into the third bar. The notation should be the same (no rests or ties).
Is this possible?

Not sure if this is a bug or feature, but if you set the beam on the last note of a measure to middle of beam (using the Beam palette; see Beam in Handbook, it will beam across the barline. Probably won't help with the tuplet aspect, though. For that, easiest solution is to use one combined measure with an "actual" time signature of 8/4 (using Measure Properties in right click menu) then insert a "fake" barline in the middle from the Barliens palette.
