Feathered Beam Playback
So I am fully aware the software doesn't have a way to have feathered beam notation play back properly yet. In the meantime, any one have an ingenious way of writing out 4 notes in a beat of varying lengths, so that when you play it back, it actually sounds like its somewhat of a feathered beam play back where there are 4 notes in a beat that accel without the tempo actually accelling? I hope what I'm asking makes sense, someone let me know if you know what I mean!

WAG:
Enter notes of decreasing (or increasing) length into a tuplet to force them into the appropriate time. Something along the lines of eighth / dotted sixteenth / sixteenth / 32nd in (I think it would be) a 10:16 tuplet
You can use the Piano Roll Editor to change the start and duration of the notes.
I did this in 3.7 (if your using 4.* you have my sympathies).
Changed the default durations of 1000/1000/1000/1000 to 1600/1200/800/400 for each group of 4 semiquavers and the on times to suit.

In reply to You can use the Piano Roll… by rothers
The Piano Roll editor is only available in version 3 (at this time!) I use version 4, which is why I didn't suggest it. rothers uses version 3. If you're on 3, you can try it. If you're on 4, the Piano Roll is not (at this time!) a possibility.
