Hello:
From the manual:
\relative c' {
\time 2/4
\set tupletSpannerDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 4)
\times 2/3 { c8 c c c c c }
}
I understand everything except how the "1" and "4" relate to the notation.
Have a look at the section of the documentation on time administration
(http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/notation/special-rhythmic-concerns#time-administration):
"ly:make-moment n m constructs a duration of n/m of a whole note. For
example, ly:make-moment 1 8 is an eighth note duration and
ly:make-moment 7 16 is the duration of seven sixteenths notes."
BTW, both #(ly:make-moment 1 4) and #(ly:make-moment 1/4) are valid, and
both forms can be found in the documentation (see
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/learning/types-of-properties) for
examples of the second. Is one form preferred over the other? If so,
maybe that should be consistently used throughout the documentation.
