ok - thanks of the clarification. You are right - I should have added a third set of tuplets to have it make sense. It doesn't matter as I don't think it was the answer to your question. However, see if measure "1" (below in the attachment) is what you are looking to do. Again - just want to make sure I am presenting a solution to the right question....
Yes both of these examples were done in Logic. It is not straightforward or necessarily intuitive but it can be done. Requires a polyphonic staff style and two sets of tuplets (one for the bracket and one for the rhythmic value of the notes)
OK.
I understand what you're saying about how you did your example in your 1st pic.
And I'm guessing that due to the nature of that music it would also play back as expected.
But the nature of that music doesn't require the outer triplet and it would never be written that way as far as I can tell.
I'm guessing that using your polyphonic score style trick I could probably notate most simple nested tuplets that I would need to.
I'm just not sure how many of them would actually play back the way they're supposed to sound.
And one of the reasons I want to be able to notate nested tuplets is so that I can hear how they are supposed to sound so that I can become a better reader of nested tuplets myself.
As far as your 2nd pic/example is concerned, yes I know how to do that by allowing half values in the N-Tuplet Creation Dialog Box.
That's not really what I'm trying to do although your example IS kind of like the duplet I suggested in my last post.
But nested tuplets involve at least one new bracket within an encompassing tuplet.
Thanks.
The polyphonic score style is a good trick and one that I'd forgotten about.
Still, I'd rather be able to do real nested tuplets, playback and all.
Both Finale and Sibelius can do this, both visually and with MIDI playback.
There really isn't any reason why Logic shouldn't be able to do it too.
