I am working on transcribing a euphonium solo and have come across a rhythm that I cannot figure out how to notate. As an aside, I am loving lilypond and am impressed with the level of detail that has gone into it. It makes engraving scores fun!
Here is the figure; it is a single beat in 5/4 time (so it's duration is 1 quarter beat):
4-32nd notes
a triplet consisting of 3-32 notes
4-64th notes
I'm not even sure of how to divide this up, as the 4-32nd notes would take twice as long as the 4-64th notes. I'm note sure what the composer is going for or how the performer will interpret it, but I want to be faithful to the part (there isn't a full score -- only a piano reduction -- so I'm engraving the parts to make it). Normally, I would have the 32nd and 64th note beams with an 8th note beam between each of the 3 groups, but the 3 groups are not of equal duration.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
