Dear James,
Thanks but, again, this is misleading, since the numbers in the
bracket would be 6:5 but there would be 3 notes inside the tuplet. I
don't have 6 attacks but 3. This is the kind of cheating I do in
Sibelius, and that I would like to avoid if possible. Sorry to be so
demanding, but isn't this what lilypond should be about? To output
exactly what you want?
Cheers,
Uri

It is a bit more convoluted than that. I will try to make myself
clearer:
I want to write 3 against 5.
a tuplet… is a compression of the duration of a rhythmic value. V
\version "2.11.50"
\relative {
\time 5/16
c16 d e f g
\times 5/6 {a8 f d}
}
So, if I understand correctly, you want 3 eighth notes in the space of
3.5 eighth notes, or as you put it, 3 eighth notes in the space of 5
sixteenth notes. You want to have a bracket containing 3 eighth notes
and then the number defining the tuplet to be, I'm assuming, 3 (eighth
note) : 5 (sixteenth)? Do I understand that correctly? If so:
\version "2.11.50"
\relative {
\time 5/16
c16 d e f g
\override TupletNumber #'text = #(markup #:italic "3" #:fontsize
-3 #:note "8" 1 #:italic ":5" #:fontsize -3 #:note "16" 1)
\times 5/6 {a8 f d}
}
I'm sure you don't mean to be, but you come off sounding kind of whiny
and complaining, and expecting that someone else should solve your
problems for you. That's not a really good way to get help, especially
from a volunteer project.
That being said, this is the last time I'll help you with this
problem. If you can't figure it out on your own, then perhaps you
should find a better way being right, in the face of everone else.
