IWBNI it were possible to create a tuplet that spanned a barline. As it is now, all notes of a given tuplet must be in the same measure.

This could be implemented by adding a checkbox called Allow Across Barlines to the Tuplet Definition dialog box. Tuplets for which this option is unchecked would behave as the current tuplets. When this option is checked, barlines would be crossed as needed to complete the tuplet group.
