Title: Quintuplets?
Post by: ItmightbeJB on 2018-08-24 09:08 pm

I've made good use of the triplet tool on NWC. Is there a way to score quintuplets?

^{Ack... Please disregard I figured this out myself. There were five 8th notes so I just split the 1st three into a triplet and left the remaining two alone. It's not perfect but at least the measures line up.}

You need to have the user object tupletmarks.fso installed. The tempo change is figured by multiplying the regular tempo by the value of the tuplet (e.g., in this case we have 5 notes in the time of 4, so you need to multiply the regular tempo by 5/4). Note that this is not necessarily the same as the hidden time sig, although it is in this case. However, if your quintuplet was 5 8th notes in the time of a half note in 4/4 rhythm, you'd still need to multiply by 5/4, because it would still be 5 notes in the time of 4 (5 8ths in the time of 4 8ths).

An older way of handling it. Pentuplets.htm (https://wjporter.com/nwc/Pentuplets.htm) Practice file: tupletTest.nwc (https://wjporter.com/nwc/t7665w01.nwc)
