Correcting an imported score where tuplets were not recognized

• Aug 10, 2020 - 14:32

I'm a newbie, and did the best I could to search for existing answers in the forum, but all I found was a post from 2011 that seemed like a similar issue, so apologies if this is a duplicate question.

I've imported a Glière piece via pdf scan, intending to simplify the cello part so I'm not incapable of playing it :)

Anyway: The piece is in 3/4 time, and much of it consists of eighth-note triplets. In fact, every single eighth note and eighth rest in the entire piece is part of a triplet. However, the scanner decided they were all standard eighth notes, which appears to have resulted in the whole thing being interpreted as 9/8 time, filling in rests as needed. Screen capture attached.

Is there a reasonably non-labor-intensive way to fix this? Thanks!

The import tool does not handle tuplets well at all. It would be easiest to start from scratch and forget you used the import tool.
