Re: Autobeaming not working for tuplets in 3/4 bars

[Frédéric Chiasson]

Well, in 3/4, I don't think that every score beamed all the eighth notes of
a bar together. It may happen in some scores in classical music (i.e.
Mozart, Symphony n°39, 3rd movement, clarinet parts), but it is never an
error to regroup them in beats. In contemporary music, since the beats
change so often, it is almost an undiscutable law.

But for triplets, I am pretty sure that no composer has beamed three
triplets together in a 3/4 bar : it is simply to hard to read!

But thanks for the functions, it will be very useful for my composition!
