	A bridge tuplet is a tuplet ~~that bridges a~~ tuplet to ~~either another tuplet or~~ the ~~main~~ grid. ~~The thing that makes this kind of tuplet so strange is that the denominator is made up of different lenghts~~ of ~~beats~~.		A '''bridge tuplet''' is a tuplet connecting either two tuplets or one tuplet back to the parent grid. They might look exceedingly complex, but they can easily be optimizations of high-level polyrhythmic ideas.

	~~Every~~ bridge ~~tuplet along with whatever it~~'~~s bridging~~ can ~~technically~~ be ~~thought of~~ as a ~~giant nested~~ tuplet, ~~but that can~~ end up ~~getting messy very quickly, so it's usually optimal~~ to ~~put it down~~ as a bridge tuplet ~~if you can choose between~~ the ~~two~~.		All bridge tuplets are '''nested tuplets''' and can be written as such. However, if you have a tuplet that connects two tuplets with different beat lengths, you would end up with numbers too big to think about as tuplets and the whole thing would be a disaster. With bridge tuplet notation, the numbers are much friendlier and the rhythms are a lot more conceivable.

	Bridge ~~Tuplets have a longer visual explanation~~ in [https://youtu.be/paqtvlEBeUU 6 Levels of Polyrhythms Explained]		It’s very important to mention that bridge tuplet notation works because tuplets represent notes at different speeds. In the Bridge Tuplet Visualization on the right, the little 6:4 simply represents 6 sextuplets against 4 eighth notes, because the big septuplet and sextuplet just change the speed of the eighth note.

A bridge tuplet is a tuplet that bridges a tuplet to either another tuplet or the main grid. The thing that makes this kind of tuplet so strange is that the denominator is made up of different lenghts of beats.

Every bridge tuplet along with whatever it's bridging can technically be thought of as a giant nested tuplet, but that can end up getting messy very quickly, so it's usually optimal to put it down as a bridge tuplet if you can choose between the two.
