I have now discovered "preantepenultimate" and my world is a happier place with a bit of faith in humanity restored. Thank you for leading the way :)

Perhaps you'll also find joy in 'demisemihemidemisemiquaver' and friends!

Here, though, the quest for elegant variation must prematurely conclude at 'quasihemidemisemiquaver'.

    I see why that would appear that way, but no... Music Theory, a.k.a. "Random disorganized thoughts of 18th century grouchy old white Austrians" is a place where logic and joy go to die!

    Reading "A quarter note triplet consists of three-quarter notes over the same amount of time as two-quarter notes" causes Baby buddha Jesus-Mohammad to cry and kick puppies in frustration at where humanity has gotten.

So ... propreantepenultimate must have really tipped you over into ecstasy? :-)
