Re: Aligning Tuplets and Eighth Notes

[Kevin Barry]

Hi Sam,

The solution is to alter the duration of the first eighth note to 4/3
of its normal duration and the second one to 2/3 like in the following
example:

\version "2.18.2"
\relative {
  <<
    { g'8*2/3 f e }
    \\
    { c8*4/3 e8*2/3 } % note the altered durations
  >>
}

hth,
Kevin
