When I started this topic, the point was to suggest a more intuitive syntax, which is closer to the musicians' language and the output on the score. That is why I proposed \tuplet (closer to musicians's language) and "3:2" (closer to the output of the score). In my opinion, I though this function was working very well the way it was.
For the syntax topic, I would also suggest to standardize the tweak entries. At this moment, we can have for example : \override Voice.Textscript #'padding = #3 (a number) \override Voice.Stem #'stencil = #ly:stem::print (a function) #(set-global-staff-size 13) \set fontSize = #2 This diversity of syntax is hard to understand and very hard to remember for a non-programmer. Maybe we could replace them by "\" functions?? By the way, happy new year to everyone! Frédéric 2007/1/5, Han-Wen Nienhuys <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

LilyPond is written in *English*. There is a the other, perhaps more valid reason, is that \tuplet more closely matches the purpose than \times. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen LilyPond Software Design -- Code for Music Notation http://www.lilypond-design.com
