Hello. 

The code: 

(6abc``def 

is (normally) interpreted as 6 notes in the time of 2 notes. 
Try use a more precise syntax for tuplets, like: 

(6:4abc``def 

which stands for 6 notes in the time of 4 notes; 

or the complete form: 

(6:4:6abc``def 

which stands for a proportion of 6 notes in the time of 4, for the next 6 
notes; so it's possible do this: 

(6:4:4cd2``ef2 

Best wishes.
