First of all, congratulations on being able to use Hyperscribe. I've never been able to get it to do what I want with any accuracy at all.

That being said, if you have the same rhythm notated a certain way in many staves that you want, there is a free plugin for that. It's called JW Rhythm Copy. You make one measure correct, set that as the source, then you choose the staves you want that notation copied to, and it will copy the rhythm while leaving the pitches intact.

I also might have switched to 12/8 for that passage to facilitate the notation.

Like Christopher said, if you could do that in Hyperscribe, my hat is off to you!

I see nothing that is a problem, using Simple Entry. I could easily step right through it. But rather than using Rhythm Copy, I would simply copy the correct measure as needed, and use the Repitch tool to change the pitches.

I suspect that your problem (in Speedy) is the way you are entering the triplets. Since I only use Simple, I can't help you, there. But if you want to try Simple, just ask!

Entering these tuplets in speedy is easy and quick, it literally takes just a few seconds.

To enter the tuplets in ms. 2:

1. Click on the speedy icon, then click on ms. 2

2. Press "option 1" (this is the Mac keystroke, windows might be "alt 1")

3. The tuplet dialog box appears, Make sure it says "3 8ths in the space of 2 8ths" Now enter the notes for beat 1.

4. Keep repeating steps 2 & 3 until the measure is complete.

Exactly. I have created far worse tuplets, included nested tuplets, all in Speedy Entry (sorry-have never used Simple Entry) and yes, the JW Rhythm Copy is a lifesaver that I find absolutely essential. 

never use hyperscribe either, because as with the transcription tool, it just causes me more headaches and work than to avoid both of them, but that's just me perhaps.

Here are just three examples, including an old complex work from the 80's for piano, a more recent work for piano, and a piece for two percussionists. All were done with Finale, and except for the old piano work that has a lot of complexity, all were done pretty quickly.

I couldn't even whistle that in tempo, much less play it on an instrument! Well done, David!

Heheheheh. Thanks. My point was just that tuplets are pretty straightforward with Finale and while there are certainly things to improve, even nested triplets are not a huge deal to create.
