Re: Another Two-Voice Question

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you want a dotted eight note to have the duration of two
triplet eight notes, you want 3/4 * X quarter notes to be
the same as 2/3 quarter notes, which gives X= 2/3 /(3/4) = 8/9.
Similarly, to make a sixteenth note have the duration of a triplet
eight note, you want 1/4 * X quarter notes to be 1/3 quarter note,
so X= 4/3. This gives <<{c8.*8/9 c16*4/3} \\ \times 2/3 {r8 c c}>>.

I leave it as an exercise for you to find a solution, where you
modify the durations of the triplets to match the dotted rhythm
instead of the other way around.
