Hi Karol,

I suppose you're on 2.16.2, otherwise you would have complained more. ;)

Anyway, attached an improved snippet taking staff-space into account.
Hope it's ok, I did some poor tests only.

Comments in code. Also, a hint to make it work with 2.17.

I've got a newer version of this which allows you to make adjustments to the position of the tuplet number along the beam from the default centered position.  (This sometimes proves necessary when there's a collision.)  I'll look around for it.

Thanks for working with this, Harm!  I'll see if I can incorporate your changes when I find the code.  Too much clutter on this computer.
