Singlets are the latest rage. Cramming one note into the space of one note is genius.

DontMockMySmock: Aug 9, 2008; I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

"Triplets" are, in theory, just some musical time interval subdivided into three parts. There's no inherent reality to the idea that they're three-in-the-space-of-two, they're just three-in-some-space. So that's why syntaxfunction is having a bit of a bad day.

But otoh, music timing is normally (in Western music anyway) divided into powers of two (whole note, half note, quarter note, eighth note, etc.), so dividing into three (or five or any other number that isn't a power of two) is unusual. And so it becomes natural to compare that subdivision into three parts in comparison to the more typical subdivision into two (or four) parts.

And furthermore, the three-in-the-space-of-two idea is made more real and concrete by notation. In traditional Western music notation, a triplet rhythm is indicated by taking the time that you want to occupy, dividing it into two, then writing in three notes of that size with a little "3" above them. So for example, to write a triplet of three notes that take the same amount of time as a quarter-note, you write in a set of three eighth-notes with a little "3" above them to indicate they're a triplet (or sometimes, "3:2"). In other words, it's three "eighth-notes" (not really, but that's what they look like on the page) in the temporal space where two eighth-notes belong. Three in the the space of two, just as sebmojo said.

There are other tuplets that are notated differently, but triplets are by far the most common. Quintuplets are notated as "five in the space of four", for example.

I think syntaxfunction's issue was they were reading "two notes" as "two whole notes" as opposed to just... two notes of any length. Maybe "note" is technically an incorrect word when referring to quarter notes or whatever but I'm Australian and call them semibreves and crotchets and quavers so "note" seems fine to me as a generic word.
