As an override, \tupletUp does not provide "direction or placement for a tuplet" but rather "direction or placement for this and all of the following time steps". Now if you put two conflicting overrides at the same time step, usually the latter one wins. The solution is to use a "tweak" which is bound to a particular music event rather than to a time range. 2.18.2 conveniently provides \single for converting an override into a tweak. > A simple example: the 5 should be up, and the 3 down, but both are down. > > \version "2.18.2" > { \tupletUp \tuplet 5/4 { \tupletDown \tuplet 3/4 {c' c' c'} c4}} Try { \single \tupletUp \tuplet 5/4 { \single \tupletDown \tuplet 3/4 {c' c' c'} c4 } } -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
