To enter tuplets with the Simple Entry tool

1. Click the Simple Entry tool  . The Simple Entry Palettes appear.
2. Click the icon representing the desired note’s duration. Click any accidental tools, if desired.
3. Click the Simple Tuplet tool on the Simple Entry Palette.
4. Click the staff. A note appears where you clicked with rests filling out the rest of the triplet. By default, the triplet will use the duration of the first note to define the triplet. If there isn’t enough room to create the full tuplet or you click within an already existing tuplet, Finale will enter a note of the duration you selected.
5. While entering with the Simple Entry Caret, press 9 (or numpad 9) to begin a tuplet.
