I am working on typesetting another composer's music. In their music they prefer to notate a 5:4 tuplet (5 sixteenth notes in the space of 4 sixteenth notes) as 5:1 (5 sixteenths in the space of 1 pulse (quarter note). Is it possible change Lilypond's MIDI encoding so that if I write the tuplet as 5:1 that it will play it back as a 5:4? Instead of 5 sixteenth notes in the space of 1 sixteenth note?
Can you be more specific about what you want to get visually? Do you actually want to see,
5 : [quarter-note]where [quarter-note] would be replaced by an actual little quarter-note, or do they want to see the numerical ratio 5:1?
If it's the former, then these examples from the Lilypond Snippet Repository might be useful for you:
