OTHER TUPLETS :
– DUPLETS –
2 : 3
*( A duplet is a group of two notes, which spans three of its note-type.
Used in compound time ( 3/4 ) to divide a beat that should contain three parts into two equal parts.
Duplets work like triplets, except in reverse.
Duplets are used to put two notes in a space where there should be three.
For example : dividing a dotted quarter note into two duplet eighth notes instead of three
( using divisions of 2 in 3/4 time ).
TRIPLETS - ( above )
– QUADRUPLETS –
4 : 3
*A quadruplet is a note-grouping of four, played in the length of three of its note-type.
For example, sixteenth-note quadruplets span three normal sixteenth-notes.
If the quadruplet spans more than three notes, it is designated a ratio such as 4:5 or 4:6;
meaning four notes in place of five or six. )
– QUINTUPLETS –
5 : 4
*( A quintuplet is a group of five notes, which – in simple meter ( 4/4 )– fits into the length of four of its note-type.
In compound meter ( 3/4 ), five notes take the place of three.
five quintuplet eighth notes total the same duration as a half note.
In 4/4 time (simple meter), eighth-note quintuplets span four normal eighth-notes.
In 6/8 time (compound meter), quintuplets span the length of three eighth-notes.
The quintuplet may be designated a ratio, such as 5:4 or 5:3: Five notes for every four or three, respectively. )
– SEXTUPLETS –
6 : 4
[i]*( A sextuplet is a note-grouping of six, which is played inside the length of four of its note-type.
For example, a sextuplet written with eighth-notes spans four normal (or “straight” eighth-notes. )
This six-part division may be regarded either as a triplet with each note divided in half
(2 + 2 + 2)—therefore with an accent on the first, third, and fifth notes
or as an ordinary duple pattern with each note subdivided into triplets (3 + 3)
and accented on both the first and fourth notes.[/i]
– SEPTUPLETS –
7 : 4
*( A septuplet is a note-grouping of seven, commonly played in the length of four or six of its note-type.
For example, seven eighth-notes spanning four normal (or “straight”) eighth-notes.
a septuplet lasting a whole note can be written with either quarter notes (7:4) or eighth notes (7:8).
Two groups of 7:4 septuplets fit in one measure of common time.
One eighth-note septuplet spans six straight eighths in 6/8 time.
it’s rare for a division of seven notes to appear in the middle of a song,
the time signature 7/8 tends to be used instead – that way, the entire song is affected. )
Please correct me if you can find mistakes from octuplets to tredecuplets.
