Thank you for your attachments.  I'll have some time to look at the 
tuplet bug in the next few days...

There's a slot in the timesig class called "div" where you can specify 
possible measure subdivisions (as number of beats in each subdivision).  
For example: (make-timesig :off 0 :time '(5 8) :div '(1 3/2)) or 
(make-timesig :off 0 :time '(5 4) :div '(3 2)) or (make-timesig :off 0 
:time '(5 8) :div '((3/2 1) (1 3/2))).  Looking at the '(5 4) example 
just now I see that I need to fix the beaming algorithm so that it shows 
the 3 + 2 division properly (another addition to the bug list). 

There are also two settings, :default-meas-divs and :default-tuplet-divs 
which are lookup tables containing default divisions (you can override 
fomus's defaults with these), but they don't give you direct control.  
Let me know if you have any additional ideas for controlling 
subdivisions/tuplets--I'm open to anything that will make the program 
more flexible.

I'm looking forward to seeing it work with PWGL/ENP--thank you so much 
for your help.
