If you look at the third tuple in the example shown here the tuple
number is shown as 3:2, and the \times command which poduced
it is \times 2/3.  So the "3" is the numerator of the tuplet number
or the denominator of the \times command.  So the snippet is
correct.

Thanks.  Will do.

The example shown is not entirely appropriate, I agree, but there
seems to be no better snippet available in the LSR at the moment.
There are two which show polymetric notation, but both are too long
for the NR (which is already too large).  They can easily be seen by
clicking on the Rhythms snippets.

Maybe we should just remove this snippet?  Views?

I'll leave this for John to pick up ...
