Re: Slurs around tuplets / tuplets inside staff - Could this be asponsored feature??

Hi David,

Just in reply to your statement ----

>>> whether there is really supposed to be any slurring or not.

I realise this but I typeset baroque and classical scores where a slur is often placed around the tuplet number. As for trying to figure out whether it is a 'slur' or 'a group' I leave this to the performer(s) since I'm trying to make the score as faithful to the original edition as possible -- an urtext. The feature which I've sponsored isn't a mandatory feature but simply one that users can switch on or off when editing baroque and classical works or any other works for that matter.

Regards,

Trent Johnston

i.e. the slur would go over the number and not through the number as it
does now...

This used to be popular but it is a bad idea because you can't tell
whether there is really supposed to be any slurring or not.

See the triplets in my "Alegrias for Rose" on my site, for a better
than standard triplet bracket.  It's been in use in the Philippines
for some decades.

number would be put just above the noteheads or beam wherever they are
in the staff.

That's where they are supposed to be, close.  You have found an ugly
ugly ugly bug.  daveA
