How to get irrational tuplets inside a regular meter like 9/8

An alternative method involves simply adding in the required rests, rather than squishing or stretching the entire measure with a large tuplet. Since this method is easy to calculate exactly because you're just adding and subtracting various integer fractions, it always produces guaranteed

Three different types of Nancarrowesque acceleration notated

For the sake of completeness, here are all three types of acceleration used by Conlon Nancarrow. Here they're notated exactly, while Nancarrow typically punched holes in a player piano roll to get his accelerations. These aren't exactly the same as Nancarrow's acceleration, because he used

Yes, I think you're right that an svg file is superior to a png file. In the svg file, all the objects are resolution-independent. So the score and its components can be scaled arbitrarily without raterizing degradation. It's remarkably easy to enter these kinds of scores using a MIDI sequencer,
