You can alter the length of duration by a fraction N/M appending `*N/M' (or `*N' if M=1). This will not affect the appearance of the notes or rests produced. These may be combined such as `*M*N'.
In the following example, the first three notes take up exactly two beats, but no triplet bracket is printed.
