This should be "jeu inégal" or maybe "notes inégales".

There is an article on Wikipedia which mentions the "rule":
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notes_in%C3%A9gales

In article referred to above, they point to Bach's "Contrapunctus II"
which is on Mutopia:

[Although the uneven notes are spelled out explicitely with dotted
durations.]

I have a sonata by "Boismortier" which I encoded quite some time ago (with
"\version 2.4").
[Now I've just converted to 2.10 but the result has a problem: the bass
figures are too far from the bass staff (a lilypond bug?). I don't have
version 2.12 so cannot tell whether it's solved with it.]

I think that there are a few passages in the first movement that contain
notes to be played uneven.

If you want I can send you the files.

Best,
Gilles
