Haha I’d never thought of that, yes you could have a bar of 4/4 with a triple dot minim and a single quaver. It’d definitely throw you the first time you see it on a chart though

I've never seen one in the wild, but it's an option in Sibelius...So some mad bastards must use them 🤣

Minim + three dots = half + quarter + eighth + sixteenth.

You could not add a quaver (eighth) after that to a bar of 4/4, dear @FDC484950. Just one extra sixteenth (semiquaver) fills the bar.
