764 Chapter 33 Working With Notation
The Quantize value is selected from a pop-up menu, which contains all available
display quantization options.
Among these are binary quantizations (displayed as one binary value—16 or 128), and
hybrid quantizations (two values combined, a binary and a ternary value—16,24 or
32,96 as examples).
Binary values always correspond to the note value with the same denominator—as an
example: 32 corresponds to thirty-second notes, and so on. Ternary values refer to
triplets. Here is a list of the ternary values, and their corresponding triplet values:
When binary display quantizations are used, automatic triplets are not displayed at all
(except for triplets inserted with the mouse, using an N-tuplet object).
Important: Therefore, a hybrid quantization value must be assigned to the Quantize
parameter, to enable the automatic display of triplets.
