The solution was to build the tuplet number text as a markup.
I wonder if there is a way to specify the alignment of the tuplet
number with the tuplet bracket instead of specifying paddings and
offsets as I did. Anyway this works well visually:
\version "2.25.5"
\new Staff
{
\relative c'
\repeat unfold 5 {
\override TupletBracket.outside-staff-priority = #0
\override TupletBracket.bracket-visibility = ##t
\tuplet 5/4 { \override TupletNumber.text = \markup { \combine
"5:4" \combine \magnify #0.5 \translate-scaled #'(5 . 0) \rhythm { {
8 } } \translate-scaled #'(3.3 . 2.8) \magnify #0.5 "5" } \override
TupletBracket.padding = #0 \override TupletNumber.Y-offset = #1.5
\tuplet 5/4 { c8[ c c c c] } }
}
}
