@skkk22 Yes, but it is very formal. You would use it in formal writing, like for school.
In conversation I would say “it was more B than A.” In the example sentence “The drama was more a comedy than a tragedy.”

@Luci_Fruit Thank you! It was very helpful because nothing is written about how formal this expression is in the textbook.
