A new model version with support for implicit tuplets
A new version of our in-house model now powers every PDF and photo import, with a focus on how tuplets are printed on the page.
- Implicit tuplets are now supported. Engravers usually print the small "3" or "6" over the first triplet or sextuplet of a passage only, and leave the groups that follow unmarked — the player is expected to carry the pattern on. Those unmarked groups are implicit tuplets: played as tuplets, with nothing printed to say so. They are very common in 19th-century editions, studies and variations. Scanning now reconstructs them from the rhythm of the bar, instead of dropping notes to make the bar fit its time signature.
- Fewer tuplets invented out of thin air. The model used to mark ordinary beamed groups as triplets even when no number was printed above them, and those numbers showed up in your score. It now writes a tuplet only where one is actually printed on the page.
