I find that even using shorten-pair (with a negative first value) fails to do 
this as I expected.  So now I don't know any way to print the bracket with the 
preferred layout...

 Subject:   Left-hand end of tuplet bracket sometimes wrong 

Both Ross (p161) and Gould (p195) are completely clear when they say that the 
left hand end of a tuplet bracket aligns with the left-hand side of the first 
note.


However, LilyPond doesn't always do this - instead, if the first note has an 
up-stem, the bracket is aligned with the stem instead.


Is there a reason for this?  And is there a way to correct this globally, or do 
I have to tweak shorten-pair for each affected instance?
