In my opinion, the slur on the correct side outweighs the tuplet on the correct side. I am GREATLY appreciative of this discussion and these examples. But take that as authoritatively as it is meant, which is to say, I dunno. Mike Halloran's solution (first choice), or Vaughn's (second) would be mine. I would have kept the stem direction as much as possible, but flipped the tuplet to allow the slur to stay in the right direction.

Wow, that seems like the most radical solution to me. The better the composer, the better the notation.

Patterson's plugins, Tobias' plugins, full version, waiting for Jari's plugin update pff) and perhaps nudge both down slightly, the slur won't be so distorted. If you change the second tuplet bracket to be flat (smart tuplets.

You could conceivably leave the tuplet brackets where they are and move the slur to be above them. Mike solution is good, although there may be other situations where this might not be a viable option. MOTU Digital Performer 9.12, 9.02, Logic Pro X 10.2.4

Move the dynamic and crescendo down to make room.įinale 25.1, 2014.5, 2011c, SmartScore X Pro II, Encore 5.07, GPO 5Ģ010 iMac i7, 32G RAM, 2T SSD, Late 2013 MacBook Air, OS 10.12.1 what's the best choice here?Flip the brackets as before but retain them. I will post another example, though, where it's tougher! In this case the tuplets really should be flipped, actually.

That would also remove the brackets (in my defaults for tuplets) which I am perfectly comfortable with. What's the best way to deal w/ this situation? I play around w/ it every time and never come up with a satisfactory solution (see picture) The original version of this page can be found at :
