Yes, I was wondering about this too. It seems to me that either you still need to have \set tupletSpannerDuration or you need to build the tuplet duration into the tuplet function itself, e.g. \tuplet 3:2 2. {c c8 c c4} for John's first example, and \tuplet 3:2 4. {c4 c8 c c4} for the second. But then this is probably making \tuplet a little more complicated than people would like. (unless maybe the duration value is optional and can be omitted?)Frédéric Chiasson wrote:But to avoid repeating \tuplet functions for long passages with the same tuplets, we could admit that kind of syntax : \tuplet 3:2 {c8 d e f g a b c d e d c b a g f e d} without having one long bracket going through all the notes. But Iunderstand that you don't want to change that for programming issues.It is not possible to determine whether "long" tuplets should be splitted or not; how then would you determine whether \tuplet 3:2 {c4 c8 c c4} should be printed as |----- 3 ----| __ | | | | | | | | X X X X or as |- 3 -| |- 3 -| | |\ |\ | | | | | X X X X ? In your example, \set tupletSpannerDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 4) can already save from typing \tuplet (\times today) a lot of times. Cheers,
