Re: Suggestion: Use non powers of 2 for tuplets

[Valentin Petzel]

I’m not really sure why you’d call it invasive. It would change nothing about 
the way Lilypond works, but just add power to the input language.

Your points about beaming and grouping are reasonable, but the idea is not 
replacing tuplet with such a notation, but making such notation easier. And 
there are many cases where the default grouping by beat structure is pretty 
much what you want. In the worst case one can simply group the notes manually, 
which is still much faster than doing lots of different tuplets and hiding the 
Brackets (if you do a piece that frequently changes between division 2 and 
division 3 this takes a stupid amount of time!)

Cheers,
Valentin
