Re: doesn't count triplets beginning on offbeat

[Jay Hamilton, Sound and Silence]

It's the braces that I missed thanks.
As for the suggestion re; a8 I believed and the results seem to indicate 
that the default mode is- whatever value was last entered remains until 
changed-
I would think that less clutter would be preferable unless it really is 
possible for the program to get confused.
So could you clarify that for me?
