I'd call it a duplet :) .
If you really want flags on it, this works (much to my amazement): [m1 d4d3x2 g3l ] a43l r8 a42u r8 | / I don't remember ever looking for a reference when I made up the rules PMX uses to decide the "multiplicity" of xtuplets. For this case, if we call the duration of an eighth note 1 then a quarter would be 2, a dotted quarter 3, and each member of the duplet would be 3/2=1.5, which is exactly half way between 1 and 2. Does anybody know if there's an official rule for this case? As for the economy of the PMX input language, that was very intentional. I chose to make it as terse as possible, at the expense of clarity. For someone who didn't know either language, I think he could make better guesses about the meaning of the different commands in the XML than in PMX. --Don From: TeX-Music [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dieter Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2014 8:36 AM To: Werner Icking Music Archive Subject: [Tex-music] Translation from MusicXML to PMX: here "Duoles in 9/8 meter" During my investigation of MusicXML and a piece of Vivaldi I ran into a duole. PMX-code translated from MusicXML: is "d4d3x2 g3l a43l r8 a42u r8 | /" and the result is : I would have expected that the duole consists of 2 eigths instead of 2 quarters. Regards, Dieter P.S. This is the corresponding MusicXML Code. A duration of "256" corresponds to a quarter note. IS it not amazing how extremely well PMX compresses the information? <!--============== Part: P3, Measure: 207 ==============--> <measure number="207" width="271"> <note color="#000000" default-x="15" default-y="-20"> <pitch> <step>D</step> <octave>3</octave> </pitch> <duration>192</duration> <instrument id="P3-I1" /> <voice>1</voice> <type>eighth</type> <time-modification> <actual-notes>2</actual-notes> <normal-notes>3</normal-notes> <normal-type>eighth</normal-type> </time-modification> <stem>down</stem> <staff>1</staff> <notations> <tuplet type="start" bracket="no" number="1" default-y="-172" placement="above" /> </notations> </note> <note color="#000000" default-x="60" default-y="-20"> <pitch> <step>G</step> <octave>3</octave> </pitch> <duration>192</duration> <instrument id="P3-I1" /> <voice>1</voice> <type>eighth</type> <time-modification> <actual-notes>2</actual-notes> <normal-notes>3</normal-notes> <normal-type>eighth</normal-type> </time-modification> <stem>down</stem> <staff>1</staff> <notations> <tuplet type="stop" bracket="no" number="1" default-y="-172" placement="above" /> </notations> </note> <note color="#000000" default-x="109" default-y="-35"> <pitch> <step>A</step> <octave>3</octave> </pitch> <duration>256</duration> <instrument id="P3-I1" /> <voice>1</voice> <type>quarter</type> <stem>down</stem> <staff>1</staff> </note> <note default-x="151"> <rest /> <duration>128</duration> <instrument id="P3-I1" /> <voice>1</voice> <type>eighth</type> <staff>1</staff> </note> <note color="#000000" default-x="181"> <pitch> <step>A</step> <octave>2</octave> </pitch> <duration>256</duration> <instrument id="P3-I1" /> <voice>1</voice> <type>quarter</type> <stem>up</stem> <staff>1</staff> </note> <note default-x="241"> <rest /> <duration>128</duration> <instrument id="P3-I1" /> <voice>1</voice> <type>eighth</type> <staff>1</staff> </note> </measure>
