I'm trying to have a slurred triplet inside of some lilypond notation, but I get the following error:
music.ly:32:52: error: syntax error, unexpected EVENT_IDENTIFIER
a(b cis a e'-.) e e8(d \tuplet 3/2 {b16 gis e}
) |
This is the code that I'm compiling.
\version "2.18.2"
\relative c'{
a(b cis a e'-.) e e8(d \tuplet 3/2 {b16 gis e} ) |
}
I've spent a long time looking and I haven't been able to find a satisfactory explanation for why this is happening. this page on the official lilypond website suggests that there isn't any special treatment for embedding triplets inside slurs, but when I remove the slur braces like so:
a(b cis a e'-.) e e8 d \tuplet 3/2 {b16 gis e} |
It compiles just fine.
I have version 2.18.2 installed on my ubuntu machine.
Googling "unexpected EVENT_IDENTIFIER" hasn't helped me too much.
