Sounds like it. Once issue 3095 <URL:http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3095> passes, you can write \tuplet 3/2 4 { c8 c c c c c } and that hopefully needs less of an explanation. Of course, that explanation still needs to be done (there is no user-level documentation yet short of the music function appendix), but it will hopefully be more obvious. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
