Hi Adam,

If you're wanting to dampen brackets to the make them perfectly flat,
you're in luck: just set the TupletBracket's staff-padding to a
sufficiently large value; the bracket will push away from the staff
and flatten completely. (As a global setting this works well to
produce flat brackets to accompany, for example, flat beams set with
Beam #'positions = #'(x . x).)

If, on the other hand, you're wanting to dampen brackets *not* to make
them perfectly flat but rather to *keep* them sloped (while
simultaneously controlling the *amount* of slope), then that's a
different matter entirely. No idea how you would get at that ...


Trevor.
