Quadruplet

From MusiCAD

A quadruplet consists of four notes that together have the duration of three 'normal' notes. Quadruplets are sometimes used in triple measures instead of four dotted notes in succession (which have exactly the same duration).

duplet and quadruplet

In MusiCAD you make a quadruplet by entering four dotted (eighth) notes in succession and perform clustering. You can consider a quadruplet as two consecutive duplets.
