Re: Need help with tuplets on my first score

[Mike Solomon]

Hey Liam,

Welcome to LilyPond!

Unfortunately, I cannot help you out because your request lacks a few key elements. A couple suggestions:

1) In order to get help faster, please send the list a minimal example of what you are trying to accomplish in the .ly file.  The picture is excellent, but the .ly file should be confined only to the excerpt that you would like help with.

2) The file you have sent does not compile because of a matching bracket error (the 5/1 tuples is never closed).  Before sending anything out to the list, please make sure that it compiles.

All the best,

~Mike

For my first score, I am transcribing Chopin’s Waltz in A Minor, and I am having trouble with the tuplets in measure 22.
The ly file is how mine looks, and the picture is how it should look. Also confusing to me is the ottava I’m not quite sure how to do both without one messing the other one up. As I said, I am new to Lilypond and Frescobaldi so I am still getting used to it but I am very pleased so far compared to other music engraves such as musescore.
