Re: TupletBracket behaviour

Dear Mats,
I'm using 2.10.12 for Mac OSX.
Please find attached .ly file and PDF (in case your Lilypond does something different.) The "problem" only occurs in tuplets where the first note is shorter than the second and with values of #'shortest-duration-space less than 1.1 (the TupletBracket doesn't print).

I'll experiment with the minimum-length property you mention.

Many thanks,

Vivian.

I've never seen this happen and I couldn't construct an
example myself where it happened. I hope you are aware
of the fact that no tuplet bracket is printed by default if
there's a beam of the same length, but from your description
it seems fairly clear that this is not the problem here.

If you can make up a small example that illustrates the problem,
it will be much easier to figure out a solution. There is a property
minimum-length that's listed if you click on the spanner-interface
link but it doesn't seem to work for TupletBracket objects.
