Beaming Inside a Triplet
User Tip #: 10 Offered By: Kent Dugan Last Modified: N/A

When you have quarter note triplet figures, and one of those quarter notes is broken into two eighth notes, if you bracket or brace the eighth notes first and then highlight and bracket the triplet, the brace on the eighth notes will go away (they'll have vocal-type individual flags on them). To remedy this, bracket the larger figure first (the quarter note triplet). Once bracketed, you can bracket the inner eighth notes OK.
