That is, the tuplet p:q just appears as a pair (p, q) attached to
the
list.
But we don't need to introduce the tuplets in the LilyPond
structure,
because the p:q for tuplets is already handled by LilyPond, as far
as I can
tell. At least for right now, I think we can use a single
fundamental unit.
I think you may need to have the tuplets as a part of this structure
in order to compute the correct beaming. Then the current flexible
approach of LilyPond where they can be broken up in pieces might be a
complication.
Can you give me a specific example of beaming where the tuplets
would be
necessary?
If one has say a triplet, then I think LilyPond admits breaking it up
into to separate parts with some non-triplet notes between - LilyPond
just checks that the timing is correct.
When one wants to beam correctly, a complete triplet group, as above,
is also a specification that the first not should have the stem top
the right only and the last one to the left only.
So I suspect that for proper beaming, one has to first make complete
tuplet groups. LilyPond might need some new syntax to ensure that this
information is provided or structure enforced.
