Correct. > By contrast, 9/8 is tripartite, just as 3/4, so I do not see any obvious > difference here. The difference is that each of the three big beats in 9/8 is subdivided into three eighth notes, while each of the three big beats in 3/4 is subdivided into two eighth notes… Writing it this way means that you don't have to write the tuplet notation on alternate bars.
