Re: Nested tuplet across tuplets

[damianlegassick]

Hi Andrew

By making it only a *little* more fiddly and tedious I can get pretty close.

I feel your pain...

Damian

\version "2.19.83"
\header {
  tagline = ""
}

{
  \time 1/8
  \clef bass
  \override Score.TupletBracket.bracket-visibility = ##t
  <<
    {
      \once \omit TupletNumber
      \once \omit TupletBracket
      \tuplet 5/4 {
        s16.
        \once \override TupletBracket.positions = #'(6 . 6) 
        \tuplet 5/4 {
          \stemDown
          \once \override Beam.positions = #'(-5 . -5)
          c'32[ gis32_> ais32 cis'32 dis'32]
       }
      s16.
    }
  }
  \\
  {
    \set TupletBracket.tupletFullLength = ##t   
    \override TupletBracket.positions = #'(-9 . -9)
    \override TupletNumber.text =
       #(tuplet-number::append-note-wrapper

    \tuplet 5/4 8 {
      fis32[ gis,-\parenthesize_> d c'!16]
      \once \override Rest.extra-offset = #'(4 . -5)
      r16 b16[^> b32]
    }

Hello Damian,

Thanks for your effort. But look here:

\version "2.19.83"
{
  \override Score.TupletBracket.bracket-visibility = ##t
  <<
    {
      \time 1/8
     % \once \omit TupletNumber
      \tuplet 5/4 {
        s32 s s
        \tuplet 5/4
        {
          \stemDown
          g'32[ 32 32 32 32]
        }
        s s s
      }
    }
    \\
    {
      \tuplet 5/4 8 {
        g'32[ 32 32 16]
        d16\rest 16[ 32]
      }
    }
  >>
}

The tuplet brackets are not all all what I need - refer to the image. Sure, I could mess with the bracket extensions and so on. But this solution, although clever, is tedious and fiddly (no disrespect intended) and I have dozens of these to engrave, so it's not very fluent.

At this stage I would be prepared to say this is not possible in lilypond (and I am more convinced it's far too idiosyncratic even as far as modernist music goes).
