I am not sure I understand that. Why use sextuplets when you could just use triplets as 3'+3'? I should think that sextuplets make most sense when you need 2'+2'+2' as a rhythmic pattern. I have had very little exposure to them, actually, that's just my mathematical gut feeling. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
