Septuplet

From MusiCAD

A septuplet is a figure of 7 notes in the time of usually 3 or 4 notes.

7 achtereenvolgende septuplet notes together form a septuplet-cluster.

A quarter note can therefore be replaced by 7 septuplet notes that look like semiquavers.

You change a note into a septuplet-note (by 4/7) of its original duration with <alt-7>
