We have a fundamental difference in our terminology. For you, a triplet consists of three notes. For me, a triplet consists of a single note, three of which make up a triplet group. I have checked our glossary, and while there is no explicit explanation, "triplets", "quadruplets" etc are used as a label for a single triplet or quadruplet group, making it more likely match my usage of the word. The Wikipedia entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuplet oscillates between both uses, mathematically of course a triplet is a group. The German word is "Triole" and thus made from a different word stem, so guessing from the equivalence between Germanic languages might be strained. Still, for now I am going with the usage for which I see a vague preference in the glossary. Also note that for something like \tuplet 3/2 { c4 c8 }, one still talks about triplets, but only two notes are actually present. https://codereview.appspot.com/7220052/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
