When Insert mode is activated, all notes in the tuplets are retained and any subsequent existing
notes are pushed to later rhythmic positions to accommodate the extra rhythmic durations
required. When Insert mode is deactivated, the earliest selected tuplets expand and overwrite
subsequent notes and tuplets.

Allowing/Disallowing tuplets to span barlines
You can allow tuplets to span barlines, for example, in Renaissance music, you might want
tuplets to span tick barlines without affecting their notation. By default,
Dorico SE automatically
splits tuplets over barlines so that both the durations of bars and the divisions in tuplets are
clear.
PROCEDURE
1. Select the tuplet brackets or tuplet numbers/ratios of the tuplets you want to allow/disallow
to span barlines.
2. In the Properties panel, activate/deactivate Spans barline in the Tuplets group.
RESULT
The selected tuplets span barlines when Spans barline is activated, and are automatically split at
barlines when it is deactivated.
EXAMPLE
A 16th note sextuplet across a barline, notated as
two triplets
The same sextuplet allowed to span the barline and
beamed together
AFTER COMPLETING THIS TASK
You can beam notes in the selected tuplets together.
