triad

A triad or triplet is a music figure (a tuplet) consisting of three notes having a duration of two notes. Three triad notes of 1/8 have a duration of 1/2, so each one thus has 1/6 duration.

An ordinary note is transformed into (shorted with 2/3) a triad note using <F5> and back to an ordinary note using <F6>

A triad may contain rests as in:
