Just approxifake it like everybody else.

I'm not entirely sure about this but if I had to tackle that first tuplet, I'd probably do something like this: As far as I understand, a 7:5 would be a septuplet within a quintuplet so you would work out the lowest common multiple of 7 and 5 which is 35. Now, imagine the tuplet is split into 35 equal parts. Every 7 parts=1 quaver of the quintuplet. Every 5 parts=1 quaver of the septuplet that is contained within the quintuplet (the actual quaver that is notated on the page.) If you look at my drawing, you can see the 35 divisions in the middle with the quintuplet quavers underneath and the septuplet quavers above. Above the septuplet quavers, I've written out the first tuplet from your example. Obviously this would be very time consuming and impractical and you would have to learn the tuplet very slowly as if it had 35 "beats", though I can imagine that over time you'd get an intuitive feel for the rhythm of a 7:5 or 5:4 or whatever and be able to get through it relatively quickly. Like I said, I'm not 100% on this; that's just how I'd go about it. Common sense tells me there is a simpler way but I don't know what it is.

Well, I have to say I am impressed. I partly posted this thread to see if I could get some activity on my works, but I also posted this to see what the maturity level was like on this site. Ladies and gentlemen, my hat is off to you! Very mature feedback... no flaming... just good solid replies. This is quite refreshing!

There is only a certain ammount of people on this site that review other's pieces frequently. I am sure lots of people here just listen to other compositions and perhaps don't feel competent to comment. Some people just upload their stuff and want comments but they will never comment other pieces. Some people appear once or twice and then dissappear. You just have to be patient, wait and be generous enough to comment other pieces without expecting a vice-versa. And sometimes you get a pleasant surprise. ;)
