Compact Notation for Tuplets

2026-07-16T13:57:35Z

TBM: added andy’s suggestion for incomplete tuplets

'''Compact Notation for Tuplets''', or '''CNfT''' for short, is a form of notation for [[tuplets]], as the name suggests. It was derived from the [[Stromian Tuplet Notation]], so it has many similarities, but it also differs from STN in certain areas.
[[File:Compact Notation for Tuplets.jpeg|thumb|485x485px|All types of tuplets notated in CNfT.]]
CNfT was developed by [[User:TBM|TBM]], with help from the community.

== Interpretation ==
The way to interpret CNfT notation is as a ratio of speed compared to non-tuplet notes. For example, a triplet would be 3:2, so you would play the notes inside as if the tuplet didn't exist and the tempo was 3/2 times faster.

== Normal tuplets ==
Tuplets can simply be notated as a ratio, such as 3:2 for triplets, 5:4 for quintuplets, and 22:16 for duovigintuplets.

The contents of these tuplets can be notated as 3[''contents of the tuplet'']:2. The contents of the tuplets must add up to the numerator, so 3[1+1]:2 wouldn't work since a triplet is missing.

== Nested tuplets ==
Nested tuplets, are tuplets inside of other tuplets.

They would be notated as such:

The '''outside tuplet''', the '''nest tuplet''', would wrap around the '''inside tuplet''', the '''nested tuplet'''.

So let's say there is a triplet in another triplet. We would start with a triplet with open contents,

3[ ]:2

and we put the triplet inside.

3[3:2 ]:2

We're missing a triplet, so let's add 1 in the contents of the nest tuplet.

3[3:2+1]:2

There you go!

= Non-dyadic tuplets/Incomplete tuplets =
Now this is where it gets weird. Imagine a triplet, with only 2 notes. it might sound confusing, but remember, the ratio is the ratio of speed from inside the tuplet to outside the tuplet. So, 2 triplets would be 2 notes at 3/2 times the speed.

We would notate that as 2@3:2, where the ratio of speed is clearly marked, as well as the amount of notes.

The contents can be notated as normal. So it would be written as 2@3[''contents of the tuplet'']:2. In this case, the contents of the tuplet need to add up to the number inside the parentheses, so 2@3[2+1]:2 wouldn't work since there is a triplet too much.

= Bridge tuplets =
Now it gets REALLY weird.
[[File:Bridge Tuplet.jpg|none|thumb|Example of a bridge tuplet]]
A bridge tuplet is a tuplet that bridges between 2 or more tuplets.

Here is how to notate the bridge tuplet above.

Start with the first tuplet, with contents open.

7[ ]:6

Then, put the 5 notes before the bridge tuplet.

7[5 ]:6

Now we start making the bridge tuplet. We first write the numerator of the ratio of the bridge tuplet, with an open parentheses,

7[5+5:( ]:6

then in the denominator, we put the notes needed to make the bridge tuplet. In this case, that would be 7(2):6 and 5(2):6. Right now, we are still in the septuplet, so we put 2 in the denominator from 7(2):6.

7[5+5:(2]:6

We are done with the septuplet, now we move on to the quintuplet. Yes, right now the notation looks weird, but trust me. Add in the quintuplet, with open contents.

7[5+5:(2]:6+5[ ]:6

In the contents of the quintuplet, we will add 2 from the bridge tuplet from 5(2):6 as mentioned earlier,

7[5+5:(2]:6+5[2 ]:6

and now, since the bridge tuplet ended, we can close the parentheses.

7[5+5:(2]:6+5[2) ]:6

Finally, we add the 3 remaining notes in the quintuplet.

7[5+5:(2]:6+5[2)+3]:6

And that is how you make a bridge tuplet in CNfT.

= Limitations =
Currently no known limitations.

[[File:TBM profile picture.jpg|thumb|TBM’s profile picture. ]]
'''TBM''' (born on the 7th of October 2011), also known as “𝑓izzy 89-limit comma” in the Fizz Inc. discord server, and “65535/64881” in practically any other server, is a swiss-chinese pianist/keyboardist, trackmania player, and composer/musician.

== Projects ==
I am currently working on 2 projects: the [https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnNMLBXl5LeBpjbKDwRuFzgXEw_1hhKAw fizz transcription series], and the fizz Black MIDI series.

In the fizz transcription series, I transcribe tracks from the album “Fizz vol. 1”, voted each time by you guys, the community. The series currently has 1 episode, and another one is planned to release this summer/fall.

In the fizz Black MIDI series, NaomAB and I remix certain tracks from “Fizz vol. 1” into a Black MIDI; a genre that consists of making MIDI files contains thousands, millions, or billions of notes.

== TrackMania career ==
It all started with TrackMania Nations Forever. The game was completely free to play, and had pretty much everything. Map making, online servers, local multiplayer, et cetera… it is so much fun. Then I looked towards Trackmania 2020. It was more modern, had weekly maps (that were free) and free map making, but that was it. Everything else was behind a 20$/yr subscription. Luckily, there was a single week where everything in TM2020 was free to celebrate the 2nd edition of Red Bull Faster, and I got just what I needed that week — a fully lime green car skin!! Now I make kacky maps for Kacky Reloaded, and compete against [[User:Vubobinali|vubobinali]] in the amount of medals in TMNF. I am winning right now.

== What do my names stand for? ==
TBM stands for “The Best Musician”. I have no idea why I named myself that, but that is my name now. And 65536/64881 is the 89-limit comma that I hand calculated when I was making custom microtonal HEJI symbols for harmonics above 53 : <math>\frac{65536}{64881}=\frac{2^{16}}{3^6\cdot89}</math>

== Music ==
MUSIC!!!!!!!!!! I love making music. It is one of my favorite things to do. Unless I don’t have any ideas for the music. My music is highly inspired by Tigran Hamasyan and Fizz Inc. I use MuseScore 4.7.2 to make my music, and I will try out some free DAWs after my exams.

Flamchaining

[[File:Flamchaining.png|thumb|Flamchaining visualization]]
Flamchaining is when a sharp sidechain dip occurs directly after a transient in the track being sidechained, creating an unpleasant “flam”. This usually happens when the sidechain, or the track being sidechained isn’t quantized.

If done carefully, this typically undesirable effect can be used by producers to create interesting effects.

“I think the guitar is getting flamchained.”

Bass Function Collapse

2026-06-12T08:29:25Z

TBM: Some grammar corrections (pls check if the corrections are correct if needed)

Bass function collapse is the phenomenon of hearing music through your phone speakers, and then putting on your headphones to hear the bass, only to find out that the bass notes (and therefore the chords) are different from what your phone led you to believe. This phenomenon can be especially frustrating if you, having initially listened on a phone, automatically filled in the gaps with notes that sound better than what ended up being on the recording.

It's thought by some that in the era of social media, this phenomenon can be exploited by musicians to go viral by intentionally releasing music that sounds impossibly good on a phone (at the cost of its actual collapsed version).

"I heard this song on TikTok and looked it up afterwards, but I was really disappointed with the bass function collapse."

"The bass function collapse on this song is brutal. Hearing it with headphones makes it surprisingly unlistenable."
