Is there a way to produce Pentuplets (if thats what they are called - eg group of 5 eighths in place of a half)..
I know this has been asked before but usually about producing the correct rythem. I am more concerned with correct score printing. If there is no way to do this (which I expect to be true) is there any plan to add this feature in a future version?
If all else fails (and if our more helpful forum posters don't have a better idea), try this: Where you want a 5-tuplet, make it a regular group of 4 in NWC. Create placeable WMFs from print preview. Open them in a program with decent WMF editing capability (Open Office, Adobe Illustrator, probably Corel Draw, but not MS Word). In the group of 4, copy one of the notehead-plus-stem. Tweak the four to make room, and paste in the copy to make 5. If you need to add a "5" brace, that can be done by adding the text directly.
Of course, that's not a good solution for a large composition with a lot of tuplets.
Many thanks :)
Nice working solution :)
I beam all five notes together and add a 5 as a text item (centered on the middle note), and also add a hidden tempo mark at a ratio of 5:4. The parts without the 5-tuplet each need a hidden eighth rest. Don't forget to change the tempo back at the next beat.
Check the user tips. https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=2325
The pentuplet is easy, notating ordinary notes played concurrently with it is the main problem.
That user tip is about
Combining Phrase Marks and Simple Slurs,
not n-tuplets.

Close anyway <g>?!?
