Hi,
I have always used the following syntax to write triplets:
\tuplet 3/2 {a8 b c)
But when I import MusicXML files, tuplets are most often rendered as:
\once \omit TupletBracket
\times 2/3 { a8 b8 c8}
}
The most surprising is that the tuple bracket isn't omitted, and removing "\once \omit TupletBracket" doesn't change anything.
On the other hand, I also found:
a8*2/3 b8*2/3 c8*2/3
which produces a triplet with no bracket.
Here is an example showing the four ways:
\version "2.22.0"
\score {
\new Staff {
\relative c' {
\time 4/4
\key c \major
a4 b \tuplet 3/2 {c d e} | f g a b \break
a,4 b \times 2/3 {c d e} | f g a b \break
\once \omit TupletBracket
a,4 b \times 2/3 {c d e} | f g a b \break
a,4 b c4*2/3 d4*2/3 e4*2/3 | f4 g a b
}
}
\layout {}
}
What is the recommended method to get triplets with and without brackets? And what is the purpose of other methods?
