Hi all,
I am wondering if the way LilyPond's tuplet bracket algorithm works is
really ideal. It seems to me that the algorithm does not specify a maximum
slope for the brackets, and can produce things like this:
\version "2.19.37"
{
\tuplet 5/4 { <f'' c'''>16 d'4 }
\tuplet 5/4 { <f'' d'''>16 d'4 }
\tuplet 5/4 { <f'' e'''>16 d'4 }
\tuplet 5/4 { <f'' f'''>16 d'4 }
\tuplet 5/4 { <f'' g'''>16 d'4 }
\tuplet 5/4 { <f'' a'''>16 d'4 }
\tuplet 5/4 { <f'' b'''>16 d'4 }
\tuplet 5/4 { <f'' c'''''>16 d'4 }
}
<http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n192294/22.png>
If there would be a maximum slope, the results could be something like this:
\version "2.19.37"
{
\once \override TupletBracket.positions = #'(6 . 4)
\tuplet 5/4 { <f'' c'''>16 d'4 }
\once \override TupletBracket.positions = #'(6.5 . 4.5)
\tuplet 5/4 { <f'' d'''>16 d'4 }
\once \override TupletBracket.positions = #'(7 . 5)
\tuplet 5/4 { <f'' e'''>16 d'4 }
\once \override TupletBracket.positions = #'(7.5 . 5.5)
\tuplet 5/4 { <f'' f'''>16 d'4 }
\once \override TupletBracket.positions = #'(8 . 6)
\tuplet 5/4 { <f'' g'''>16 d'4 }
\once \override TupletBracket.positions = #'(8.5 . 6.5)
\tuplet 5/4 { <f'' a'''>16 d'4 }
\once \override TupletBracket.positions = #'(9 . 7)
\tuplet 5/4 { <f'' b'''>16 d'4 }
\once \override TupletBracket.positions = #'(13 . 11)
\tuplet 5/4 { <f'' c'''''>16 d'4 }
}

The latter seems like a more reasonable approach to me. Does anyone have
access to Elaine Gould's /Behind Bars/? If so, what does she says about the
bracket slope?
Cheers!
Gilberto
