hernesheir commented on the word tuplet
(n): in music, any group of notes with an individual value more or less shorter or half as long as the next note of larger value. Tuplets are generally shown by a horizontal or angled (for ascending or descending series of notes) bracket with a number or ratio indicating how many notes of the same altered duration are to be played in the specified interval.
