I need to print half-note duplets in 3/4 time. '\tuplet 2/3' does not
work. The code below *does* work. My question is; is this the
"right" way to do this?
Thanks,
David
\version "2.20.0"
\score {
\relative c' {
\time 3/4
\once\override TupletNumber.text = \markup{ "2" }
\tuplet 4/3 {c2 c}
}
}
\tuplet 2/3 would mean every two notes of a particular duration should
last as long as three notes of that duration. But three half notes
would be two full measures in 3/4 time. So, \tuplet 4/3 would be
correct if you intend for two half notes to "fill" a 3/4 measure.
Consider:
%%%%
\version "2.20.0"
{ \time 3/4
| b'4. b' % two dotted quarters
| b'2*3/4 b' % half notes scaled by 3/4
| \times 3/4 { b'2 b' } % same, but using \times
| \tuplet 4/3 { b'2 b' } % same, but using \tuplet
}
%%%%
\tuplet and \times differ only on the order of numerator/denominator.
