Hi Peter,

You’re welcome!

> TupletNumber isn't mentioned in the manuals except that you can change it.

There are a huge number of references in the manuals — for example, 
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/writing-rhythms#tuplets> 
includes a bunch of examples/snippets, and of course 
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/internals/tupletnumber> gives all 
of the settings and properties.

This section shows how you can omit any layout object [including, obviously, a 
TupletNumber or TupletBracket]:
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/visibility-of-objects#removing-the-stencil>

The section linked above includes \undo.

\temporary should probably be added to the section introducing the \override 
command(s)…

> Maybe add a para or two somewhere in the main manual text (with example)?

As the devs say: “Patches are always welcome!”  ;)

Cheers,
Kieren.
