![]() The hook and the number are called Line Annotations in Dorico, and we need to create both. The Body style should be Solid line body (thin) by default - this is good. Click the plus to create a new line, and again change the name to something sensible. This time start by creating a new line: in Write mode open the Lines panel on the right, scroll down and click Edit Lines (it doesn’t matter whether you click this under Horizontal or Vertical - the Edit Lines dialog will open showing horizontal lines by default). The “sixth-notes” will play back as standard crotchets/eighth-notes, but you can use hidden tempo marks if you care about playback.) (Here’s a useful tip: you can type 3/4|2/6 in the Time Signatures popover to get a bar with the right time signature and a dotted barline - much easier than the workarounds in Sibelius. The process to do this in Dorico is broadly the same as Sibelius. Nevertheless, these are some pretty handy lines to have if you want to write some interesting rhythms. If you want quintuplets or septuplets or anything else you’ll need to define new line styles based on these. The second drawback is this line is only for triplets. ![]() Reset the position and it will move below the stave, where it can be tweaked. ![]() Then head to Appearance > Design and Position > Default Positions, find the new line on the left (remember to select Lines) and change Vertical position relative to staff to -4. Make sure to rename it to something appropriate too. You can make a new version for below the stave pretty quickly though - just create a second line based on the first, and set the hook to +1 instead. The first is this line will only work above the stave. There are a couple of drawbacks, however. Drag the end back (to taste) and you’re done! Now that’s all done, you can add your new line style to your score it should appear under Brackets ( Notations > Lines > More, or shortcut L). You may need to experiment with the frame size later on, depending on the typeface you use.Ĭentered Text - mine is set to -0.75 spaces up, you may need to experiment with this Under the Border tab tick the box for Erase Background (this is so the line will break behind the number). Uncheck all the properties down the left side of the Font tab - this will ensure the text style is always identical to the original tuplets style. Rename it to something appropriate (like ‘Triplet fragment’), and base it on the existing Tuplets style (the box below the name). Making the numberįirst create a new text style ( Text > Styles > Edit Text Styles, select Tuplets from the list and click New Text Style…). ![]() We need an incomplete triplet bracket for the end of the third bar. Let me first show you how to make this in Sibelius. My preferred method, however, is to use an open-ended tuplet bracket to indicate the note durations have been altered but the implied tuplet is incomplete. These are still fairly new, and there’s no standard notation for them some scores will use a closed tuplet bracket over a smaller group (or, indeed, a larger group) of notes, and some will leave a time signature as the only indication of an irrational meter. If you work with contemporary music a lot, you’ve probably come across irrational time signatures and split or incomplete tuplets. Open-ended tuplet - my preferred notation ![]()
