-@cindex tuplets
-@cindex triplets
-Tuplets are made with the @code{\times} keyword. It takes two
-arguments: a fraction and a piece of music. The duration of the piece
-of music is multiplied by the fraction. Triplets make notes occupy
-2/3 of their notated duration, so a triplet has 2/3 as its fraction
-
-@lilypond[quote,relative=1,verbatim,fragment]
-\times 2/3 { f8 g a }
-\times 2/3 { c r c }
-@end lilypond

-@cindex grace notes

-@cindex comments
-@cindex line comment
-@cindex block comment
-A comment is a remark for the human reader of the music input; it is
-ignored while parsing, so it has no effect on the printed output.
-There are two types of comments. The percent symbol @samp{%}
-introduces a line comment; after @samp{%} the rest of the line is
-ignored. A block comment marks a whole section of music
-input. Anything that is enclosed in @code{%@{} and @code{%@}} is
-ignored. The following fragment shows possible uses for comments
-
-@example
-% notes for twinkle twinkle follow
- c4 c g' g a a g2
-
-%@{
- This line, and the notes below
- are ignored, since they are in a
- block comment.
-
- g g f f e e d d c2
-%@}
