That's perfect; the key I was missing was how to make a "pseudo tuplet." This 
gives me exactly what I want:

\version "2.17.26"
\include "english.ly"

\relative c' {
        \clef bass
        \once \override TupletNumber.text = "even"
        \once \override TupletBracket.bracket-visibility = ##t
        \once \override TupletBracket.direction = 1
        \tuplet 4/4 { a8 g16 f } g4 gf8 f r4
}

Thanks for your help!

Alec
