Hi, If you want better control over tuplet brackets and their angles, here's some useful code. You can get the brackets horizontal with little effort using this.
[Not my code, but I am unable to recall who created this to acknowledge them.] [Do tell us your name, it would be good and proper. Even a pseudonym is better than nothing. ] Andrew == snip tupletAngles = #(define-music-function (y-off angl)(number? number?)

Thought I'd just toss this out there to show a neat example of some things Lilypond can do that no other notation program (that I know of -- haven't used SCORE) can do. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
