Sorry! Duole is the German word. We also say Triole instead of triplet.
Thanks for the hint.

I'd call it a duplet J.
If you really want flags on it, this works (much to my amazement):
[m1 d4d3x2 g3l ] a43l r8 a42u r8 | /
I don't remember ever looking for a reference when I made up the rules
PMX uses to decide the "multiplicity" of xtuplets. For this case, if
we call the duration of an eighth note 1 then a quarter would be 2, a
dotted quarter 3, and each member of the duplet would be 3/2=1.5,
which is exactly half way between 1 and 2. Does anybody know if
there's an official rule for this case?
As for the economy of the PMX input language, that was very
intentional. I chose to make it as terse as possible, at the expense
of clarity. For someone who didn't know either language, I think he
could make better guesses about the meaning of the different commands
in the XML than in PMX.

*Subject:* [Tex-music] Translation from MusicXML to PMX: here "Duoles
in 9/8 meter"
During my investigation of MusicXML and a piece of Vivaldi I ran into
a duole.
PMX-code translated from MusicXML: is
"d4d3x2 g3l a43l r8 a42u r8 | /" and the result is :
I would have expected that the duole consists of 2 eigths instead of 2 quarters.

Dieter
P.S. This is the corresponding MusicXML Code. A duration of "256" corresponds to a quarter note. IS it not amazing how extremely well PMX compresses the information?
