I have a feeling this isn't possible, but I'm wondering if there's a setting in Logic Pro X (10.4.1) to force interpretation of a 1/16th-note 6-tuplet (i.e., as 6:4/4), rather than a pair of adjacent 1/16th-note triplets (i.e., as 3:2/8 + 3:2/8). I'm exporting musicXML, and while I can redo them later, it would be nice to have them exported in the more readable and conventional representation.
Logic Pro X, macOS Sierra (10.12.3)
One step at a time..... is this what you want?
You can automatically do 5,7,9 tuplets but not 6 ( let me think on this a bit though)
Well, basically, yes—I was looking for 6 under a quarter-note, rather than a half (so, 1/16ths rather than 1/8ths), but same idea. I can enter this manually, of course, but I was hoping Logic might be able do it automatically (it is, after all, more correct than writing a pair of 1/16th-note triplets). In the case you've shown here, the triplets are perfectly acceptable (i.e., in 4/4). Mind you, if your time signature were 2/2, it would be better transcribed using the 6-tuplet. It would be great if Logic could do this automatically, but I don't know of a way.
"You can automatically do 5,7,9 tuplets"...
Yes, exactly! I suppose it's because there's no basic triplet subdivision in those, and the quantization settings seem to be based on straight or triplet groupings.
Is this what you want.... as in the 6 tuplet vs the double triplets
Exactly, yes. But from interpretation, not by hand (just to be clear).
Interpret as 6-tuplet, not pairs of triplets
