Have used BIAB since floppy disc days—-
Why haven’t you fixed the display of eighth note triplets in notation? I used to get them to display properly by moving the start times of the notes to 44 and 84 but it doesn’t always work. Its frustrating since i write with BIAB; but to get eighth note triplets to display properly, I have to write the lead sheet all out in Sibelius
It’s a great program and I’ve paid several thousand for upgrades over the years, but this glitch is glaring!
Still haven’t bought 2020 version——give me a reason to do so!

switch to a swing style or change the print option to swing
Dave is correct; here is a screenshot of where you would turn on the Triplet Resolution setting in the Notation window Options. You would first need to click the "Opt." button in the very left hand corner of the Notation window.

Note that the above does not have to be an either/or setting for the song. In the Editable Notation Mode, you can turn triplet resolution on or off for individual beats.
