Re: Annotated tuplet bracket

[Gregory Rowland Evans]

Hi Jean,
In the attached image, notice the parenthesized note head above some of the 
tuplet numbers. If the bracket is down the annotation would be below the tuplet 
number. I have been able to override the tuplet number to modify the text to be 
whatever I want, however I was looking to automate a few things about the 
vertical position of the symbol.

1. I want to override only specific tuplet brackets not all brackets.
2. I don’t want to write the tuplet number again when I override the text of 
the symbol (this is not a high priority).
3. I want to input a markup so I can freely modify the note head symbol.
4. I want the note head to automatically place above or below the tuplet number 
relative to the position of the bracket. (Bracket up: annotation above number, 
or  bracket down: annotation below number)
5. Since the tuplet number text will have a taller vertical profile, lilypond 
will likely try to center the new compound symbol somewhere in between the 
number and the note head. I would like the position to be readjusted so the 
number is still in the center of the line.

Does this make sense? I know how to override the tuplet number, but I want to 
automate the positioning of an extra symbol with the tuplet number.

Regards,
greg
