6.2.4 Scaling durations

You can alter the length of duration by a fraction N/M appending ‘*N/M’ (or ‘*N’ if M=1). This will not affect the appearance of the notes or rests produced.

In the following example, the first three notes take up exactly two beats, but no triplet bracket is printed.

     
     \time 2/4
     a4*2/3 gis4*2/3 a4*2/3
     a4 a4 a4*2
     b16*4 c4
