Why when triplets are asked for IE crashes my computer ? ;)

Triplets (Triolets in french) are a group of 3 notes sharing the same
rhythmic signature (duration) but are played instead of their normal time
signature you squeaze the 3 of them in the "space" of two (sorry I don't
have the vocabulary in english of the time signatures)
they are marked with an accolade and the number 3

You can do the same with septets (septolets in french) save you squeaze 7
notes in the space of 6

The version with 5 and 9 notes are quite rare (classical music)

It's a good work around but not for these reasonsŠ even if then the "normal"
notes don't have the right duration save if you use portamento.

If you take a 3/4 timing, if you need a triolet in the at the 1 position
it's the same as a 12/4 signature played 4 times faster mathematically BUT!

BUT you have to mind as you real time signature is 3/4 you have still the 1
time strong, and the other 2 feable (in 4/4, 16/4 then, 1 and 3 strong, 2
and 4 feable, 3 a bit feabler than 1)

And you have to fake the duration of the notes of normal duration (one time
is 3 step long)

Now let's make 5/7 measures :D
