135: Making tuplets magnetic

Sibelius 2 features magnetic tuplets, which automatically position themselves. You no longer need to adjust the position of tuplet brackets after transposing music to prevent them from colliding with notes and other objects.

Magnetic tuplets are automatically available by default in new scores created with Sibelius 2, but to make them available in existing scores created with earlier versions of Sibelius, you should:

  • Choose Edit > Filter > Tuplets
  • Choose Layout > Reset Position (shortcut Command-Shift-P or Ctrl+Shift+P)

Note that you can also change the format of tuplets throughout the score using this method: filter for tuplets, then change the appearance of the selected tuplets from the Notes panel of the Properties window.
