I wrote this also in the tracker: I have no problem with \times. I read \times 2/3 as 'duration times two-third' (dur * 2/3), while in \tuplet the fraction would be less clear. Also when applying \times to a long music fragment (rendering many tuplets), \times keeps its meaning, while I think 'tuplet' stands for a single bracketed group of notes. Concluding, I would say: You use the \times command to create tuplets :-) just my €0.02, Wilbert Berendsen -- http://www.wilbertberendsen.nl/ "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." -- Mahatma Gandi _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
