Hi Malte,
Does the input have to match the output? Does it have to be ‘real’? I never
thought of lilypond that way.
I have to do hundreds of these sorts of mods also. Can’t you just write a
function and say something like:
\tn 5
[And live with the ‘inelegance’?]

I could. But like my solutions with scaled durations, the input doesn’t
really reflect the output. And when you have many of these tuplets, it’s
much to type. So I wondered whether it would be possible/nice to have a
more flexible \tuplet command.

He uses 5 (IMO the only correct solution, it’s definitely 5 quarters,
not 10 eights).
