Finale 11

as the description says, how do you change 16th note triplets to 16th note sextuplets?

You don't. If you try it, you'll get a bug.

What you do is create 6 sixteenth notes, select the "triplet" tool and highlight those six notes. There will be two boxes toward the top where you can tell it to create [6] sixteenth notes in the space of [4] sixteenth notes.

Note: make sure you select the "triplet" tool, not the triplet option within simple entry. They look the same.

Aaaand that should do the trick.

Let me know if that doesn't do it.

Werd.

-P

well I knew how to do that already....I was wondering if there was a way where I didn't have to rewrite all the triplets as sextuplets...

edit: nvm, I found I could control click the triplets and delete them, making the eighth notes regular, then making sextuplets...should work out. Thanks for the help anyway, this thread can be closed I think.

Ahm. Same end result, similar amount of steps.

Direct answer to your question, though, is that two sets of triplets cannot be directly turned into sextuplets of the same note value unless you want to screw up the playback. As you found, you have to start with a set of non-tuplet notes.
