Ray,

My suggestion above is for rhythmic figures based on sixteenth note triplets.

The minute a sixteenth note triplet becomes the smallest time-value requirement, this means that the beat needs to be subdivided into 6 (as shown in my post and also shown by John-Luke). This is #3 on the lower of my two images above.

An eighth note (= two sixteenth notes) which is then part of that triplet will take two subdivisions. For an eighth note that is not part of the sixteenth note triplet, three of the 6 subdivisions will do the job.

Piano Roll is definitely the easier way to do this. While it will play correctly, whether or not it will notate correctly for a lead sheet, I don't know.

Regards,
Noel
