I'm trying to adjust the tuplet bracket above some eighth note tuplets. All Finale HELP resources I've found indicate this:

============

Choose the Tuplet tool and click the first note of the tuplet. Handles appear on the tuplet bracket (or slur, or number).

============

When I "Choose the Tupet tool and click the first note of the tuplet", the first note is highlighted, but no handles appear anywhere. What am I missing?

And as a side note, this new forum doesn't seem very professional. Where can I add my signature, photo, etc.? When changing my PROFILE it says I can't change it here, but doesn't tell me where I can change it. I've got some other gripes, but I see many others have beaten me to it.

Any help (with the tuplet issue) appreciated. Thanks.

Right-clicking on the handle lets you edit your tuplet. To edit a series of them the same way, choose the measures with the selection tool and use Utilities > Change > Tuplets.

To change your profile, pull down on your name at the top of the forum page.

To see someone else's, click on their name in a post.

 

This forum is not ideal--it is new. It will be what we--and MakeMusic--make it.

Thanks. But, as I mentioned, the instructions in the manual for actually getting to the point where you can see the handles are incorrect. I did finally figure out that if you click the Selection Tool, then double-click the tuplet, the handles appear.

And regarding editing the Profile, yes, I got that far, but clicking Edit brings the message: "The name, profile photo, phone, and email are set automatically. You can't change them here." "Description" is the only editable field. It does not explain where to go to change your photo, your name, phone, etc.

Thanks for the reply.

I do not have the same experience selecting a tuplet that you do. Choosing the tool and clicking the first note works for me as the manual says.

To the extent that you can edit your profile, you could list your version of Finale and Computer operating system and add any other info you wish your signature could contain. Then it would be available for those interested. My appearance is not so dazzling that I'd necessarily want a photo, but your mileage may vary.
