Special tuplet ratios

How would one get this sort of tuplet ratio?

[It’s 21:20 but the note equivalency is clearer for the player.]

Fake it somehow with MusGlyphs?

Also found often in Elliott Carter.

MusGlyphs to the rescue.

I assume that you are not at liberty to make an editorial decision and change it to a simple 7:5 tuplet, without the fancy augmentation dots?

Sure, the original reading is not wrong per se, but I find it quite silly.

I do not have that liberty. That’s the way my composer colleague wants it. I am merely the Drudge!

I’m sorry for the musicians that have to read that.
