For me, this seems to be the right action.

It looks like more than a single option is available to fix this:

  . Make TupletBracket provide a dummy direction for TupletNumber.

  . Provide a (dummy) default value for Y-offset.

Somehow I consider the latter as the better solution.  Or do you think
that this is a fundamental flaw which needs a more extended patch?
