It is not possible to place two dotted halves in four quarter, under a quintuplet sign; one of the two halves has to be without dot.

someone has already pointed out that you have seemingly completely misunderstood what was being asked.

but i don't quite understand the reasoning or the point of trying to associate 1 layer of nested tuplets with leftist politics. by your reasoning i would have to assume you also feel a waltz is leftist too, because it doesn't correspond to a nice and martial 4/4. and don't get me started on those pesky nocturnes by that gol-darned radical chopin!!! all those non-binary notes! all that schmearing of the meter! pffffffffff, i tell ya, who needs 'em?!?!?!

the insane double standard of your reactionary comments is that all music was at one point "contemporary music" so i'm happy to report to the world that all of today's music is nonsense -- until tomorrow.

maybe you would care to elucidate how you came to the conclusion that all "contemporary music" is a bluff? like... you have literally heard *all* of it and are somehoe qualified to make an all-inclusive prognosis on an entire field of extremely divergent practices that spans many, many decades?

it's all been downhill since chopin.

thanks for your insights,

One (just one, not really very important) of the reasons why "contemporary music" interests me a lot in passing, is that it is full of people (in Italy also) who believe that placing a quintuplet inside a nonuplet etc., is in itself a fact of 'avant-garde', probably even 'leftist' (which harms, has harmed, even to the 'left', nb); while it's just a big nonsense, a bluff. And bluffs don't last long, unless you have a big, big deal behind you - while "contemporary music" has become, thanks to such nonsense, only a small deal.
