Working with Triplets
The Staff view places certain limitations on the use of triplets. The
limitations are:
¥ Triplets must occur in full sets of three.
¥ All three steps in a triplet must be notes (no rests) of the same basic
duration.
¥ There can be no ties in or out of the triplet.
In most cases, the Staff view can recognize triplets in MIDI data.
However, the slight timing inaccuracies inherent in live performances
can complicate the detection of triplets. If working from performance
data, you may Þnd it useful to quantize the notes closer to exact triplet
positions using the
Edit-Quantize command. See ÒQuantizingÓ on page
6-50 for details.
