Description
It often happens that several dozens notes in a row will be arranged in tuplets (usually triplets). Therefore it would be useful to have some kind of shorthand in order to apply tuplet logic to a whole slew of notes — similar to the way :8 defines all the following notes as eight notes.
So instead of writing
:8 1.3{tu 3} 2.3{tu 3} 3.3{tu 3} 1.2{tu 3} 2.2{tu 3} 3.2{tu 3} 1.1{tu 3} 2.1{tu 3} 3.1{tu 3}
one could write
:8{tu 3} 1.3 2.3 3.3 1.2 2.2 3.2 1.1 2.1 3.1
which is arguably both faster to type and easier to read.
Current Workarounds
I guess it would be possible to write a parser to extend the alphatex before feeding it to alphatab, but it seems like reinventing the wheel.
