The durations in the following paragraph of chapter 6 are mistaken:

Triplet and other irregular durations are represented using the same reciprocal logic. Consider, for example, the quarter-note triplet duration. Three quarter triplets occur in the time of four quarters or one whole duration. If we divide a whole duration (1) into three equal parts, each part has a duration of one-third. The corresponding reciprocal integer for 1/3 is 3, hence **kern represents a quarter-note triplet as a "third- note", 3. Similarly, eighth-note triplets are represented by the integer 6 and sixteenth-note triplets are represented by the integer 12. Eighth-note quintuplets (5 in the time of 4) will be represented by the value 10 (a half duration divided by 5).

They should be:

  • quarter-note -> half-note
  • eighth-note -> quarter-note
  • sixteenth-note -> eighth-note
