2 . In the Entry Palette, hover over the third pane from the left and click in the pop-up menu .
» Immediately the notes become a tuplet . You will see a triplet when you highlight three notes of equal value in a
common Time signature, as in the example below . Other types of tuplets appear when valid . As an example, when
you group a series of 5 notes you produce a quintuplet, and so on .
