To display quarter note triplets, you must first set the display quantization
to a triplet value. You can set the display quantization from the Display
Bar, Display Track or Display Score dialogs, available under the Display
menu.
By default, quarter note triplets display the first triplet as a quarter
note, the second triplet as an eighth note tied over the beat to another
eighth note and the third triplet as a quarter note.
To display as three quarter notes, select the arrow tool in the toolbar,
and select the first of the two tied eighth notes by double clicking on
it. From the drop-down edit menu that appears choose Ties and then No.
Alternatively, to display as three quarter notes, set the beat for the
measure containing the quarter note triplet to a half note. This will
ensure that notes are placed in the measure in half-note groupings. To
do this, put the cursor in the bar containing the quarter note triplet,
choose Display Bar from the Display menu and then change the Beat option
to Half. To change the grouping back to quarter notes (or whatever value
you were using) in the next measure, you must move the cursor to the next
bar and from the Display Bar dialog change the Beat option to Quarter
(or the value you were previously using).
