Hey all, This is actually my first post on this forum so I hope I’m doing this correctly! I echo Tomohiro’s concern about spacing polyrhythms and submit this article which discusses the topic in detail.
https://quod.lib.umich.edu/cache//b/b/p/bbp2372.2002.097/bbp2372.2002.097.pdf#page=2;zoom=75 I would love to see Lilypond incorporate this improved algorithm because even after trying out the first example (triplet over quadruplet) in Finale, Sibelius, Lilypond, and even Noteflight, all of the above programs produced the same ugly triplet. The workaround in Finale was to apply beat spacing, Sibelius actually had no workaround apart from manual dragging (none of the fancy spacing plugins worked either), I confess I’m not skilled enough in Lilypond to even begin to fix it (hence appealing to you fine folk - love the soundsfromsound tutorials...will there be tweak tutorials?) I’m also very curious how Dorico and SCORE handle this by default. Anyway, I hope you’ll find the article interesting.
