This is what I did. I don't know whether it would still work. \property Voice.tupletSpannerDuration = #(make-moment 1 4) \property Voice.TupletBracket \set #'tuplet-bracket-visibility = ##t > I'm wondering how to put a thick slur over the"3" like appears in > many jazz scores. Just use a slur or phrase mark, but only if you really want a slur. That was popular a few decades ago for tuplets. The idea was that one should use curved brackets over beams and square brackets in all other cases. The problem of course is that there is no such thing as a curved bracket because it's a slur. Schott's etc., and Lilypond's, solution is to make the brackets too thin, so they cannot be confused with beams. That sucks because you really can't write that way by hand. The solution is to use bent brackets only. It is a very great improvement. I thought that I had invented them first, but soon found that they had been used by Filipinos for some time. :-) /--3--\ instead of |--3--| ( \_ _/, |__ __| ) I use them in all handwritten scores, but I don't know how to get them in lilypond. I would use them for every tuplet at stem ends and beams, with all beams in line in all cases. As it stands, the "correct" notation of complex tuplets looks like caco no matter who publishes it. > But it's true I've not searched too much for that, > there were more important things first...

What I was planning to use was the code page 437 box characters, which are free to use from IBM, AFAIK, but I didn't know how to do that, and still don't.

Looking forward to it. daveA -- Br`er Fox told Br`er Rabbit that the Tar Baby had dissed him, and Fox made a dummy out of tar and put him in Rabbit's path. When the Tar Baby failed to return a civil greeting, Rabbit punched him with a right, a left, both feet and butted him with his forehead. Along came Br`er Fox who saw that he was thoroughly "stuck up". Br`er Fox is much smarter than Br`er Rabbit, and in spite of all Rabbit's pleas for help, no one is going to unstick him and throw him in the briar patch, so now Br`er Fox is liesurely eating Rabbit's liver.
