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.

Could you send a picture?
