BTW, these rules can be found in the vocal score of `Arabella' (by Richard Strauss), for example. > It strikes me that I've seen code somewhere that uses slurs instead of > brackets.

I'm rather interested in having a lilypond option to make it behave (i.e., differentiate between tuplet slur and tuplet brackets) as outlined above. > [...] Also, a full bracket might be used if the tuplet number > wouldn't intersect the bracket.

I think making lilypond provide unbroken tuplet slurs and brackets is a welcome addition :-) Werner _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
