s8 8 8 are three events with a duration of 8, s8*3 is a single event with a duration of 8*3 . The duration 8*3 _looks_ like a duration of 8 (not relevant for s but for example if you write c8*3) but takes up 3 times the actual space or "musical time" in the score. You can write stuff like c8*2/3 for triplets without actual triplet markings. So if we parenthesize (this is not LilyPond syntax), s8*3 means s(8*3) rather than (s8)*3 where 8*3 means "8 but taking up 3 times the amount of musical time". -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
