Hi.
I am using the gregorian to arrange Eastern Orthodox chant music. I am
working on music from the eight tones (which has a lot of 'recitatives')
and *would like* to be able to use tuplets to 'group' and indicate notes
and thus syllables that should be sung together.
However, in my example attached, when I add a triplet to the score, it
*really *affects my spacing. I would rather not have to constantly try
and adjust and readjust my /LyricSpace/ and /LyricHyphen/ distances for
each piece. Also, if there is a way to do this, would it be better to
just indicate this 'phrasing' in another manner; perhaps by simply
bracketing the notes together without using a tuplet - *most* of the
time I would need duplets and triplets, though sometimes, I could see
the need for larger tuplets.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
