Ok

[QUOTE=Azrael]yes - normally that indicates that the 3 notes above (or below) the bracket where the 3 stands are to be played as triplets. sometimes it is also written as 3:2 (3 notes in the time of 2) .there are also a whole bunch of other groupings like 5:2, 5:4, 7:4 etc..

I guess I should try to find some books about this in the school liberary..

Thanx for your replies everyone!
