But correct nonetheless.


It's one kind of triplet. Triplets can also be played in the space of
one note.

Same thing, depending how you look at it. Example: if a triplet's
played
within the space of *one* eighth note, it's the same as being played in
the
space of *two* sixteenth notes. In standard music notation, in fact,
this
case would be represented as three sixteenth notes tied together.



A triplet can be played over one beat of a bar or over two beats of a
bar. They don't sound the same.

Of course they don't. There's a difference between a "beat of a bar" and a
note. In 4/4 time the beat of a bar is a quarter note, but simply referring
to a given time interval as a "note" is vague and can be interpreted
different ways.




Hence my clarification of the terms I used "space of one note" and "space of two notes". I think we agree now.
