Hi Bill just figured this out and I'm excited; triplets are when you fit three notes into the space of two of those same notes. So like  3 eighth notes in 2 eighth notes (=1 quarter note  3 quarter notes in 2 quarter notes (=1 half note)  Which is interesting because we call them triplets, which suggests that they are three parts of one thing. They are thirds. But it's kinda 2/3, if you're going note-ratio wise-so do you think they should really be called two-thirdlets?
good luck trying to explain to someone how many you have
