You're completely right, sorry about forgetting about all musician that don't use keys ;), it was getting late at the moment I wrote it. But I guess we agree on the fact that a C is not equally pitched as B#. And as a result there's a difference between a B# and C chord. Thanks for correcting me,

Hi Henrik, the problem is to move apart the two consecutive "\time n/m {}" statements, so that the overrides only affect one set of tuplets. See two examples below. The first one reports a "warning: ignoring too many clashing note columns" - but typesetting is optimal IMO, second one compiles wit
