Re: A Beam and a Slur in a Bracketed Tuplet

In the example shown below, notice that the slur is incorrectly pointing upward, and "crashing" into the tuplet bracket. It only happens with both the slur and the beam present. With slur only or beam only, it engraves correctly.

Is this a known issue? Should I be coding it differently? The code used is shown below:

\version "2.21.7"

\new Staff \relative c'' { \time 3/4
    d4. d8 \tupletUp \tuplet 3/2 { d([ e]) c } | b2 b8.([ a16]) | g2.
  }
\addlyrics {
  \lyricmode { Here is some text to pon -- der. }
}

Hello,

Why do you force the slur direction up? LilyPond will try to do the
best job, but it cannot always get to understand your intent with
only partial information. Either:

- Leave the default.

\version "2.23.0"
\relative c'' {
  \time 3/4
  d4. d8
  \tuplet 3/2 {
    d([ e]) c
  }
  |
  b2 b8.([ a16]) |
  g2.
}

- Tell it the slur should be down.

\relative c'' {
  \time 3/4
  d4. d8
  \tupletUp
  \tuplet 3/2 {
   \slurDown d([ e]) c
  }
  |
  b2 b8.([ a16]) |
  g2.
}

- Adjust the slur manually.

\relative c'' {
  \time 3/4
  d4. d8
  \tupletUp
  \tuplet 3/2 {
    d\shape #'((0.2 . -0.4) (0.2 . -1) (-0.2 . -1.3) (0 . -1.2)) ([ e]) c
  }
  |
  b2 b8.([ a16]) |
  g2.
}
