yes, this was a comment made with tongue firmly in cheek. :) the
original version delivered by the composer did not have cross-staff
beams and rests under the tuplet beams in both hands. i feel that my
notation is less complex for the player, but not being a pianist, i'm
not sure if it would be considered the "correct" way to do it. if not,
i'm open to suggestions on how better to notate this section. i haven't
consulted gould on the matter yet, but will do so this evening.

As a pianist I'd say this notation is perfectly clear. I'm even quite sure that it's a very common notation for such distributed repetitions (but I don't have my scores at home, so I can't check). But maybe looking at some IMSLP scores of Liszt studies might be even better than looking up Gould ;-)


all that aside -- the tuplet brackets do not work very well by default
for this case, so my original question still remains: bug or extreme
border case?

I would say LilyPond should handle this automatically, so I'd vote for "bug".

Actually one of my first messages to lilypond-user was about a very similar problem with cross staff tuplets (typesetting a few measures by Ferneyhough). Fortunately in my case the answer "would you please try out with the development version" "fixed" it - from that moment on I never used stable versions anymore ... :-)
