Tuplet meters are the abomination -- you need a new system for indicating meter, rather than trying to shoehorn the tuplet-based meter into the old system. I mean, the old system is broken even for triple subdivision, and has to compromise for that! I don't know what convention should be developed, but 10th notes just don't make any sense whatsoever. -- David W.
