Tuplet bracket spacing with multiple voices

Hi guys, This passage is a little tricky to write tidily on one staff, and I might change the way this is done. But the placing of the lower tuplet bracket (covereing the quaver and crotchet rest) doesn't seem to help... \transpose f g { \relative c'{ << { r2 r4 \tuplet 3/2 { c8-. f-. c'-. }

Hi guys, I've searched a bit for hints on this and couldn't come up with anything relevant. I may be using the wrong search terms. This is a very short excerpt from a piece I'm writing where the midi playback is broken. It's not the end of the world for the finished product, but it is very annoyi

Re: simplifying chromatic scale notation

Wow. Clairnote looks like an incredibly stupid idea, and a grand disservice to any poor child who you teach to read it. Simplified notation is not a lot better. Unless they spend their lives playing on their own at home, musicians have eventually to play with other people who will have learnt a m
