Working with Triplets
The Staff view places certain limitations on the use of triplets. The limitations are:
• Triplets must occur in full sets of three.
• All three steps in a triplet must be notes (no rests) of the same basic duration.
• There can be no ties in or out of, or within the triplet.
In most cases, the Staff view can recognize triplets in MIDI data. However, the
slight timing inaccuracies inherent in live performances can complicate the
detection of triplets. If working from performance data, you may find it useful to
quantize the notes closer to exact triplet positions using the Process-Quantize
command. See “Quantizing” on page 327 for details.
To Enter a Triplet
1. Turn on the Snap to Time option.
2. Click the Draw tool .
3. Click the appropriate notehead button.
4. Select the Triplet option .
5. Enter the first note at the desired location in the staff.
SONAR inserts all three triplet notes at the same pitch. You can then drag the
second and third notes to their correct pitch locations.
Beaming of Rests
The Staff view supports beaming of rests, a practice that is popular with
rhythmically complex music. Beam lengths are extended to include rests that are
integral parts of the beamed group of notes. Short stems, called stemlets, extend
from the beam toward the rest. This makes the rhythms easier to read, because
the beat boundaries are made clear.
