We do that already in the 2.17.11 conversion rule. It remains mainly for backward compatibility. I think I remember that some people liked it for some purpose, however. Uses the same convention as \scaleDurations or so. > 2. times = \repeat unfold \etc When I was just occasionally using LilyPond, at some time when \tuplet did not exist, I tended to be fuzzy about \time, \times, \tempo . I am familiar enough these days that this is a mere anecdotal data point: I have no idea how it would affect newcomers. -- David Kastrup
