## Re: Aligning Tuplets and Eighth Notes

 From: Kevin Barry Subject: Re: Aligning Tuplets and Eighth Notes Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2015 23:04:33 +0100

```Hi Sam,

The solution is to alter the duration of the first eighth note to 4/3
of its normal duration and the second one to 2/3 like in the following
example:

\version "2.18.2"
\relative {
<<
{ g'8*2/3 f e }
\\
{ c8*4/3 e8*2/3 } % note the altered durations
>>
}

hth,
Kevin
