Thanks JazzWombat and Tenorman,

Please don't anybody feel like they can't cut it. It's actually not that easy. I don't think that you can do it using the bar / beat time signature option, even with micro resolution (which only gets down to the beat level).

I recalled some material I had recorded via midi, remembering that the score required a trill played as 16th note triplets leading into the next bar. So I found the chart, which had the 16th note triplets, and I then experimented on and changed to 1/8th note triplets using the beat resolution. That worked OK.

However, the only way I could get 16th note triplets to display was to actually record them (midi).

So I started to examine the midi data, and I then copied it by performing a step entry and managed to get the same result (16th triplet), also shown below.

So the answer as far as I am aware is: BiaB currently does not allow 1/16th note triplet notation resolution by editing the bar beat (the same way that 1/8th notes can be done). But, you can either play and record 16th note triplets, or edit the note positions and cause the display to show 16th note triplets. Be aware that the note duration is also critical for this to work.

Is this ideal? Probably not. Back to TenorMan's question: IMHO it would be much better if there was a proper method to set triplets display. This might be done if BiaB allowed micro-resolution at something less than 'beat' level.

In the meantime, maybe this workaround can be used. (But +10 to Tenorman's suggestion)

Regards to all
Trevor
