azing how this makes an argument for kneed beams, so shunned by > most modern typesetters! I don't think I understand why this makes an argument for kneed beams, can't one can have the same slope for both a kneed beam and a non-kneed beam? Cheers! Gilberto -- View this mes

s does, right? Anyway, I think I will bring this issue of tuplet angles to the bug squad as I think it's pretty clear we should have a max slope pre-defined. Cheers! Gilberto -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/tuplet-bracket-slope-tp192294p192444.html

r be too acute anyway. Also, it would be great to have some way of forcing the brackets to be always horizontal, similar to what can be achieved with beams by using \override Beam.damping = #+inf.0 Cheers, Gilberto -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/tuplet

atter seems like a more reasonable approach to me. Does anyone have access to Elaine Gould's /Behind Bars/? If so, what does she says about the bracket slope? Cheers! Gilberto -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/tuplet-bracket-slope-tp192294.html Sent from th
