Okay,
In 4/4, one normally "shows" beat 3 of a measure when it contains eighth note values or smaller.
However, I've run into a situation where my source has the following rhythm:
quarter rest - eighth rest - a triplet consisting of: two eighth notes followed an eighth rest - eighth rest - quarter rest
In other words, an eighth-note triplet starting on the "and" of two.
I guess the "correct" way to write this would be to split the eighth note triplet into two groups of sixteenth note triplets, like this:
quarter rest - eighth rest - a triplet consisting of: an eighth note followed by a sixteenth note, tied to a triplet consisting of: a sixteenth note followed by an eighth rest - eighth rest - quarter rest.
This would correctly show beat 3 of the measure. But in this case, I think the above notation (with the tie) is actually much more difficult to read than a single eighth-note triplet starting on beat 2.5.
What say you all?
