Extra notes in a specific bar
 

Hi Sherry, I know in the past you addressed this question but I couldn't find the thread and/or the tutorial, plus I have a brand-new computer and didn't do back up arghhh! Here is the issue: I'm transcribing a piano piece. Its in 2/4 and on this particular bar the treble clef has two eight notes triplets while the bass clef has a half note (stem down) plus a quarter note rest and two quarter notes stem up. Could you explain or point me to the right tutorial? I'm trying to get back in the "grove" after a prolonged absence for reasons beyond my control. Thanks!

Re: Extra notes in a specific bar
 

Hi,

The basic procedure is:

1. Start out with a 4/4 bar.
2. Enter the triplet(s)
3. Use Staff symbols>Barlines>Insert Barlines to split the measure into two 2/4 measures.

Enjoy :)
Sherry
