Hi Matteo, I have a tuplet angle function that somebody (I cannot recall who) sent me some time ago. I use it heavily and extensively and I can say it has been tested by me to the limit - it works well.
Using this code you just say \tupletAngles 1 0 or similar and that's all you need. Put it is a file tuplet-angles.ily and include it. Using \tupletAngles 0 0 is very handy for straigthening up tuplets when you don't want lilypond to angle them. Here it is. [Surprised this is not more well known.] Andrew == snip \version "2.19.42" %% =========================================== tupletAngles = #(define-music-function (y-off angl)(number? number?)
