Turning again to Ferneyhough:



A passage of four bars, with the following time signatures:

  7/8  7/20  3/12  5/16


The 3/12 bar could be notated as triplets in 2/8 - although this removes (or at least obscures) the three-beat structure of that bar. However, there's no way of rewriting the 7/20 bar using tuplets. It could be done in 7/16, with a tempo change in the ratio 4:5. Except that there's a rallentando marked over these four bars, making such a tempo marking impossible.
