Hi everybody, for years I've been looking for missing features to be sponsored, or any other way I could support LilyPond besides using it and talking about it everywhere I go to everybody I see... The recent discussion about the "\times" function gave me an idea I already exposed here. Let me just synthesize it one more time:
Here's the point : for beginners or guys like me who write very, _very_ simple rhythms, typing "\times 2/3" each time you want to input something as trivial as a triplet is still a bit complicated (well, you can think I'm lazy, but every software has to deal with lazy users, hasn't it). 2007/1/18, Erik Sandberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
it's easy to write a separate function \triplet {f8 g a} for this purpose. (IMHO, this would be a useful addition to the standard lily distribution)
This would indeed be a very much valuable addition. No matter how easy it would be to do it, do you "non-lazy" guys think it would be worth adding it? _Or_ there is still my original idea, which was to keep the single \times function, but to give the user the ability to not specify any tuplet argument: "If you do not specify a tuplet argument, the argument last entered is used for the next tuplet. The argument of the first tuplet in input defaults to 2/3." Maybe you'll think it would just make things more complicated. Anyway, I'd be glad to sponsor either of those two choices, if this can help.
