Getting rid of triplets
I mistakenly tried to create a swung score by having the emphasis come on the third triplet of every beat in a four four bar. Nobody liked this so I now have to get rid of the triplets and have the score in regular swung notation. I can't find a way to do this. I've cot as far as changing the triplets to quaduplets, but the notes which were quavers are now 32nd notes, and I still can't get rid of the quads. I've tried hiding the triplets but there are too many beats in some bars if I do that. Is there a way of donig this or is there a plug in for it?

Triplets are a different sort of thing to normal notes. The only way to do this is to manually delete the triplet and replace it with (presumably?) eighth notes. PITA, I know, but that's the only way.

You would have thought so but somehow even though I deleted them the manuscript became confused. I tried to hide them in the properties tab, but that mean I had way too many notes in some of the bars. The solution I finally came up with was to go back to the original midi file in the DAW (Reaper) and hard quantize everything to four four, then reload it into muse score and put a 60% swing on it. I'm still sweeping up clusters of quavers that were triplets, but it was really difficult. Apparently there was a quantize function in version 3 but not in version 4.

Without seeing your score, no one can be sure of course, but I'm'a guess a) that you deleted only a portion of a given triplet and/or b) that, in replacing them with eighths, you inadvertently went into Insert entry mode (icon is a quarter note with a plus sign) rather than Step-wise entry mode (icon is a pencil). If you still have the version where you were trying to do that, post it here and we can try to help with it?
