Take control of tuplets with Finale's new Engraver Tuplets. Default positioning looks great (even when the tuplet begins with rests), and tuplets now automatically reposition when notes are raised or lowered on the staff. Tuplet brackets avoid rests and staff lines. Brackets follow the angle of the stems when on stem side and follow the angle of notes when on the note side.

It's automatic!

More tuplet position options:

• Center tuplet number metrically or linearly within tuplet group.
• Bracket can extend over full duration of notes or just notes themselves.
• Placement options for Beam/Stem side and Above/Below staff.
• Specify flat tuplet brackets.
• Brackets flip when dragged across staff midline.
• Display ratio in multiple forms and ratio + note duration.

Spacing Controls

Take control of "before music" and "after music" space on a measure-by-measure level.

• Specify space between clef and key, key and time, and clef and time.
• Additional "before music" space at beginning of staff system and for notes with accidentals.
• Specify minimum distance between grace notes in music spacing and retain manual grace note positioning after music spacing.
