Entering triplets in Dorico is an absolute bitch. You select a note, press the 3:2 button, and then your next several bars are ruined beyond recognition. To borrow a famous meme about Word: in the distance, sirens.
@futzle 👀
That surprises me.
It's super easy in MuseScore. Just select a note and hit ctrl+3 (and ctrl+5 for quintuplet etc.)
@pilum Dorico requires bars to be neither under- nor overfull at any time. If you need to tripletize something already written, you must select three notes, no more, no fewer, and then when you press 3:2 they will be correctly tripletized, but perhaps not in the right place. Then comes the challenge of moving the notes to the right place. If you ever step on notes in adjacent bars, they get messed up pretty quickly.
Entering notes as you go works fine, but changing existing notes like in that guitar solo 👆🏻 was excruciating.
@futzle just reading the score earwormed me. Love this song.
