Greetings,

I would like the alter the length of the tuplet bracket so it extends from
the left-hand edge of the first notehead, to the right-hand edge of the last
notehead.

Lilypond seems to default to making the bracket go from the left-most stem
to the right-most stem. See the attached example.

In the attached example, there is also a problem with the nested triplets.
The two numerals '3' collide.Could this be a bug that has since been
corrected? In the final group of notes, where the inner triplet bracket is
printed in the upper position, it is interesting to note that Lilypond draws
the bracket enclosing the noteheads, not just the stems.

Thanks,
Bruys


%% tuplets

\header {

}
notes = {
  %% nb. '3's clash in the following
  \times 2/3 { b'8[
              \times 2/3 { b'16 b' b' }
              b'8]
             }
  %% To force drawing of both tuplet brackets
  \override TupletBracket #'bracket-visibility = ##t

  \times 2/3 { b'8[
               \times 2/3 { b'16 b' b' }
               b'8]
             }
  %% To change positioning of inner tuplet bracket
  \times 2/3 { b'8[
               \once \override TupletBracket #'direction = #UP
               \times 2/3 { b'16 b' b' }
               b'8]
             }
