I do think you're onto something here and it seems like something Sibelius would consider for a future version. Look for a work around and deal with it or jump ship to Finale.Īll products have their strengths and weaknesses. Right now, the feature you want doesn't exist in Sibelius, so there's little point continue to complain about it. I'm not fighting you here, but you have to face it. I have no idea how its implemented in Finale, so might want to make sure its what you're looking for before you quote it. Try and submit it as a feature request, citing that it is available in other similar products (Finale) as well as major sequencers. They are not the developers, looking after the interests of users. I wouldn't put too much into what Tech Support say. I understand, and I'm not trying to be antagonistic. Does it give you 3 1/8th triplets? Probably not. Try it in your favourite sequencer - put in an 1/8th note followed by 2 1/16th notes.

It will always require a manual process because how the hell is your sequencer supposed to know that you want two notes with very different values (one twice the other) to be the same? This will always require you to tell it.


The other (revaluing the note lengths) requires some kind of intelligence to know what you want. One (quantizing) requires that the sequencer only know a specific grid, and make the notes line up with that grid. Personally, I don't think it is correct, but I don't have any of the "offending files" so I wouldn't know. According to him, the problem stems from the fact that parts that have already been quantized to triplets in a sequencer are coming in with the wrong note values. It certainly isn't perfectly clear since you and he are offering different ideas of what the problem is.
