How about this?

\version "2.22.1"

\relative c' {

  \time 5/4

  c32 [c c c] \times 2/3 {c32 [c c]} c64 [c c c] c2. |

}

Subject: Help with Rhythm Notation

 

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.
