Thanks to everyone for their feedback so far. Here is Version 2 of the proposal. There will be new commands to supplement (or eventually replace) the current \times command. 1. \tuplet n/m {music expression} % does what \times does, but not so easily confused with \time % command. 2. \triplet

I haven't seen quadruplets in the wild, so that seems like a stretch. They are quite common in late-romantic piano music. When they occur, it seems audacious to assume they are 6/4. More likely than not, I would expect them to be 3/4, like if you have 4 notes on a halfmeasure in a 6/8

The normal setting is to have four notes in a full 3/4 bar. That would be \times 3/4 rather than \times 6/4, right? Exactly. Werner ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
