Hi, I have always used the following syntax to write triplets:
\tuplet 3/2 {a8 b c) But when I import MusicXML files, tuplets are most often rendered as: \once \omit TupletBracket \times 2/3 { a8 b8 c8} } The most surprising is that the tuple bracket isn't omitted, and removing "\once \omit TupletBracket" doesn't change anything. On the other hand, I also found: a8*2/3 b8*2/3 c8*2/3 which produces a triplet with no bracket. Here is an example showing the four ways: \version "2.22.0" \score { \new Staff { \relative c' { \time 4/4 \key c \major a4 b \tuplet 3/2 {c d e} | f g a b \break a,4 b \times 2/3 {c d e} | f g a b \break \once \omit TupletBracket a,4 b \times 2/3 {c d e} | f g a b \break a,4 b c4*2/3 d4*2/3 e4*2/3 | f4 g a b } } \layout {} } What is the recommended method to get triplets with and without brackets? And what is the purpose of other methods?
