Subject: Tuplet number direction
I wonder if someone could illuminate the tuplet direction property - I
wanted to put the tuplet number above rather than below and looked up:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/internals/tupletnumber
direction (direction):
tuplet-number::calc-direction
If side-axis is 0 (or X), then this property determines whether the
object is placed LEFT, CENTER or RIGHT with respect to the other object.
Otherwise, it determines whether the object is placed UP, CENTER or
DOWN. Numerical values may also be used: UP=1, DOWN=-1, LEFT=-1,
RIGHT=1, CENTER=0.
from this I tried
\override TupletBracket #'tuplet-number::calc-direction = #UP (WRONG)
which (having stared at LilyPond syntax over the years) looked fishy and
indeed did not work. So I resorted to stabbing in the dark:
\override TupletBracket #'direction = #UP
which does work. I wonder if some words of wisdom could help me and
others to go more directly to the answer in this (and other?) case(s).

I'm not an expert in the internals, but it looks to me that the IR lists the
properties with below the property, a default. Thus the default font-shape
is 'italic, and the default direction is given by
tuplet-number::calc-direction. Direction has an argument of (direction) and
it therefore expects a direction as the argument. In this case, #UP is a
possible argument.
