RE: Optional notation

[Robert]

I forgot to tell that this particular score was written in the old C clef :)

Anyway, a bit of fiddling around with the various solutions proposed, I
found that this gives the desired result:

\times 2/3 { \slurDashed a8[( \set stemRightBeamCount = #0 b  \teeny c)]}
\normalsize d,4 fis |

Thanks for the precious help.

Robert

this one has the small beam in the same slope as the other one, and uses a
(more modern) tuplet bracket (instead of the slur), which is dashed to
indicate it's optionality.

\version "2.12.1"

\relative c'' {
  \once \override TupletBracket #'bracket-visibility = ##t
  \once \override TupletBracket #'style = #'dashed-line
  \once \override TupletBracket #'dash-period = #1
  \once \override TupletBracket #'dash-fraction = #1/6
  \times 2/3 {
    c8[
    \set stemRightBeamCount = #0
    d
    \teeny
    e]
  }
  \normalsize
  f,4
}
