Hi all!

Please excuse a rather music theoretical question:

Is it possible a triplet oversteps the measure end ?

Regard this example:


\notes\relative c' { \clef violin \time 4/4 g'8 b2 \times 2/3 { g4 a b } f8 g2. }

It were nice if anybody could say: "Very seldom, practically never".

I definitely agree on the "very seldom" but I'm not sure about the "practically never". If I recall correctly, I have actually performed a newly written piece with sequences like r2 \times 8/7 { g8[ b a f e c d } r2 ] | i.e. a 7-tuplet (whatever that's called in english, "septol" in swedish) that crossed the bar line.


Otherwise the question is: How to place the the bar line 1/24 after starting the b. Such a way ? :


\notes\relative c' { \clef violin \time 4/4 g'8 b2 \times 2/3 { g4 a b16 ~ | b8.} a8 g2. }

Ok, LilyPond draws a triplet bracket over the measure end to solve
this problem. But I hope this is a compromise solution and actually
not allowed.(?)

I think LilyPond's kind of notation is what was used in the piece I mentioned above, i.e. the bar line placed somewhere between the notes. From a mathematical point of view, shouldn't the bar line occur exactly at the same spot as the middle note of the triplet or 7-tuplet?
