Hi All,
I'm editing a short score with tuplets and I could use a spacing
solution that would keep all tuplet brackets at a fixed minimum
distance above the staff. (Feedback I've received so far is that the
tuplet indications look messy when printed inside the staff rather
than above it.) My question is whether it would be possible to
enforce a rule that would keep these brackets above the staff.
Indeed, a minimal example would have been very welcome.
I have to say this first: tell your client that there’s no good reason
for keeping tuplets out of the staff. People have all sorts of opinions
on what looks messy or not, and especially nowadays they tend to be
enormously hypersensitive against compact layout, resulting in
ridiculous waste of space.
But, of course Lily can accommodate your need:
\version "2.19.80"
{
%\override TupletBracket.staff-padding = 10
\override TupletBracket.outside-staff-priority = 100
\override TupletBracket.bracket-visibility = ##t
\tupletUp
\tuplet 3/2 4 { c'8 8 8 d' e' f' d'' e'' f'' }
}
By setting outside-staff-priority, it becomes an outside-staff object –
see
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/learning/outside_002dstaff-objects#the-outside_002dstaff_002dpriority-property>.
I don’t know why the staff-padding override doesn’t immediately work (in
this example, it only affects the third bracket, which is why I disabled
it).
Best, Simon
