Description
Your idea
13-plets and other n-tuplets in 6/8 time currently look like this:
Every note has an augumentation dot, which is a lot of visual clutter and the number of beams cannot be changed (i think..). In the literature one can find this alternative notation which is more readable, space efficient and suggestive in my opinion:
It would be nice if one could change the way beams and note durations are represented in n-tuplets, because one would not usually count these durations at higher tempi anyway.
I hope I did not overlook some property panel where the beam number can be adjusted, but I spend some time googling...
Problem to be solved
While the default musescore notation is probably most precise from a theory perspective, alternative, and in some cases more readable representations of n-tuplets can be found in the literature. It would be great if musescore could support such alternative representations.
