Of course.  Isn't this fixed when you do --no-tuplets?

Yes.  That's what the problem is, what's the difference between
a complex rhythm, and a weird rhythm?  You and I can probably tell,
but what's the algorithm?

Hmm.  Maybe there would be something to gain from --no-rests(/skips).
Could you send me a (preferably not too big) example MIDI that has
typically these '{c2}*19/32  \skip2;*11/32' things?

Greetings,
