Re: tuplets in compound meter

[Andrew Bernard]

Hi Malte,

Does the input have to match the output? Does it have to be ‘real’? I never 
thought of lilypond that way.

I have to do hundreds of these sorts of mods also. Can’t you just write a 
function and say something like:

\tn 5

[And live with the ‘inelegance’?]

    I could. But like my solutions with scaled durations, the input doesn’t 
    really reflect the output. And when you have many of these tuplets, it’s 
    much to type. So I wondered whether it would be possible/nice to have a 
    more flexible \tuplet command.

    He uses 5 (IMO the only correct solution, it’s definitely 5 quarters, 
    not 10 eights).
