Triplets
Um - I'm working with a track in nice 4/4, but am using triplets (3 quavers in the time of 2) - at the moment I have to chose between straight quavers (8ths) or dividing the entire bar into 3s... which doesn't make sense. How can I set the snap to make sense? I'm still a little confused by the way the grid and snapping work, and seems to be very tricky to get things right for anything other than straight 4/4... I suspect I'm just being thick. Help?

cut your quantize interval in half - sixteenths instead of eighths or whatever, but keep the 3 divisor
instead of dividing into 3, or 4
divide into 12
this gives you stopping points at 1/3, 2/3 AND 1/4, 1/2, 3/4
hope this makes sense - its fairly blitherish to me, but I can't think to make it straighter

So...
how would I do this dividing into 12? If I change the time sig of the project to 12/8, all my timings go bonkers. Like totally unusable. I've started the project in 4/4, but just want to have triplets on the quavers. There's a 1/3 beat divisor in the project settings, how about a 1/12 beat?

I noticed this today, too, as a matter of course. It would be nice if we could quantize to triplets.

You're right. There isn't a 1/6 or 1/12 setting there. Bummer. There should be.
Sorry.

This is soon a year old request, and there still isn't a feature for this in Reaper. This is something I've now run into and is currently stopping me from fully migrating to Reaper.
There really needs to be options for triplet and dotted notes, in addition to the standard 1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 and 1/32 note lengths.
That is, at least these:
1/1
1/2
1/4
1/8
1/16
1/32
1/64
1/2 Triplet
1/4 Triplet
1/8 Triplet
1/16 Triplet
1/32 Triplet
1/64 Triplet
1/2 Dotted
1/4 Dotted
1/8 Dotted
1/16 Dotted
1/32 Dotted
1/64 Dotted
Cubase (and probably many other big DAWs) has it so ingeniously simple that I wonder why it isn't like that in Reaper.

There really should be an option to choose between the "traditional" and "new" notation (it is really confusing).
So maybe 5:4 7:8 of the current snap value for the "new" (this is how they are notated in the scores anyway),
and 1/16, 1/16D and 1/16T for the traditional ?

Glad you like it !
When manually writing the number, you would simply use a different character to indicate if you choose "new" or "traditional", so no switches would be needed.
You could even write something like: 13:12/8 to temp override the snap value !
For menus, well, you would have two menus: one for "traditional" and one for the "new" values.
You would toggle between the modes invisibly, simply by choosing a value from one of the menus. After that you could use keycommands "next value"/"previous value" to move between values of that menu. So again, no additional switches would be needed.
I only wonder, if the "D" and "T" should be toggled separately by keycommands (or manually typed) or if the menu should be editable and include user presets...
