Inserting Groupings such as 5, 7, 9
User Tip #: 49 Offered By: Sasha von Dassow Last Modified: N/A

To insert groupings such as 5, 7, 9, simply enter all other notes falling within standard groupings, (enter first notes of odd groupings or whatever you like to keep place), then audit bar lines as usual. When you are done with the whole piece, then go back and add the extra notes and beam together. Use insert text and --5-- or some such notation over grouping to alert performer as to size of grouping. Tripletizing will help with keeping time accurate in some cases, but if using odd-note groupings with many staffs, printout will be fine but playback will be inaccurate.
