Triplet subdivisions whole score

• Apr 22, 2022 - 06:41

Hello,
I am looking how to make a Swing type rhythmic with triplets (I know... Swing is not a triplet, no judge please).
Common 4/4 time signature, but whole score's quarters subdivised in 8th triplets. Without extra triplet notation marking with ties or whatsoever. At the end it should look like 12/8 metre divided in four beat of three 8ths.
What I want is faster way to input triplets without doing triplet command every time.
Sorry if I am making new thread and I couldn't find the answer.

To answer your question:
1. Create the first triplet
2. Select it (click first rest in it, Shift+click last)
3. Press and hold "R"

An alternative approach:
1. Use the 12/8 time signature
2. Change the time signature properties to make the text say 4/4 instead

If I were you, I'd just go with 12/8 though.
