Dear Carl,

For both examples, the difference is the example writes "\tuplet 5/8" instead of "5/4" telling lilypond to put 5 notes in the space of 8 (which is not how people usually write 5-tuplets).

 The top and bottom ones are the ones I don't understand.  The middle one is how I expect beams to be presented, i.e. 5 notes where 4 32nd notes are "normal" are beamed as 32nds.

The top & bottom samples  are also beamed as 32nds, but as shown by where the measure break occurs, are "calculated" internally as five sixteenth notes. Is Lilypond fouling up or have I failed to take notice of some other note-length command?
regards,
Carl Witthoft
