Re: different rhythmic units for tuplet's numerator and denominator

Hi Uri,


I want to write 3 against 5. [...]
I will argue against most people and most notation manuals and most

modern scores that the only correct way to notate this is 3 eight- notes


I often feel the same way -- depending on the situation, I often want (e.g.) 2 half notes as a "tuplet" in a 3/4 bar, whereas the "correct" way is to have 2 quarters...


Unfortunately no editor allows one to produce it, which is a very disturbing fact.
Could lilypond be the one?


Naturally...  =)

Maybe the following snippet will give you the hint(s) you need:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.11.49"

upper = \relative
{
c'4 c \times 4/3 { c4*1/2 c c }
c4 c \times 4/3 { c8 c c }
}
lower = \relative
{
c'4 c \times 4/5 { c8 c c c c}
c4 c \times 4/5 { c4*1/2 c c c c }
}

<<
\upper
\lower
>>
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
