Triplets in BIAB notation

[Rich]

I'm using Band In A Box to notate some music and cannot find a way of writing triplet crotchets. In fact, the only way I can find to do triplets is by enabling "swing feel" which allows you to do quaver triplets. Does anyone know how to do it or even if it is possible?

[Sid]

Yes its possible, but I'm not sure how I do it! Enter your notes on the 1st and 3rd division of the first beat and the 2nd division of the second beat. This will appear as two quavers and a crotchet on the notation. Close the file file and open it again and lo & behold you have a crotchet triplet on the notation - or at least I do!

[Rich]

OK, many thanks. I'll give that a go.

What about quaver crotchets without "swing feel" enabled?

[Sid]

I'm not sure where to find "swing feel", so I don't know if I have it enabled or not! If you let me know which menu its on I'll check to see if I have it enabled. When you say 'quaver crotchets', do you mean 'quaver triplets'? When I'm entering a quaver triplet, I just enter the notes on divisions 1, 2 & 3 of the beat (with the 'beat resolution' set at 3) - as I said, don't know if this is with or without 'swing feel'. Feel free to PM me.
