399: Tuplets - making all brackets in the score horizontal

Tuplet brackets in Sibelius are "magnetic", that is to say they alter their angle depending on the pitch of the notes. If you would rather tuplet brackets always appear horizontal in your score:

  • Choose House Style > Edit Lines
  • In the left-hand list, select the tuplet bracket line, and click Edit
  • Switch on the Horizontal checkbox
  • Click OK twice to confirm your change.

All tuplet brackets in your score will now be horizontal. Beware that horizontal tuplet brackets are not magnetic, and their vertical position is determined by the pitch of the first note in the tuplet.
