I remember playing a medely of Star Wars themes that had a lot of nested
tuplets. Particularly in the brass fanfares. Almost impossible to read but
easy if you've heard the tunes before.
Thanks to everyone that responded.
Yes, G-vox is now in charge, but the 4.1.1 version is the SAME as the last
Passport version, and they aren't giving much support for the product I've
found out. And if you're ALREADY an owner, you can upgrade for $149, to
basically a version fix. Geez, thanks guys.
As to the nested tuplets question, yes, Encore can do it (at least the
4.1.1 version I use.) I've tried this and it works musically, but maybe
not visually. Click on the 1/4 note, then Tuplet tool, place your first
note. Then double click on the tuplet tool, and the tuplet choice box
comes up. Enter 5:1 as the choice. Now click on the 1/16th note and
tuplet tools, then enter your 5 1/16th notes. Then double click the tuplet
tool again and change back to 3:2 for your last note. This PLAYS
correctly. It looks wrong though, as you get a 1/4 note with a 3 over it,
five 1/16th notes, three beamed, and two separate with 5's over them, and
the last 1/4 note with a 3 over it. You can highlight the nested pentuplet
and beam, so you have a 1/4 with a 3, the 5 beamed 1/16ths beamed with one
5 tieing them together, and the last 1/4 with a three. The only other
choice is to highlight the two beats (1/4 note tuplet) and beam together,
which results in the 7 notes being bracketed, but with a 5.
Obviously not a PERFECT way to do things, but the bottom line is that it
PLAYS correctly.
Good luck.

Before you buy.
Yes, GVOX bought the remnants of Passport, but they do not answer
e-mail. I have not tried their non toll free number.
