Re: A Beam and a Slur in a Bracketed Tuplet

[Marc Shepherd]

The reason the tuplet is up, is that — in the actual music, there is a lower voice, so the tuplet has to be up. I left out the lower voice in my example, because it is not relevant to the behavior I am asking about.

In the real score, I have not overridden the tuplet and slur direction. With the lower voice present, LP automatically puts the slur and tuplet bracket "up", with the "crashing" behavior I showed.

Why do you force the slur direction up? LilyPond will try to do the
best job, but it cannot always get to understand your intent with
only partial information. Either:

- Adjust the slur manually.

\relative c'' {
  \time 3/4
  d4. d8
  \tupletUp
  \tuplet 3/2 {
    d\shape #'((0.2 . -0.4) (0.2 . -1) (-0.2 . -1.3) (0 . -1.2)) ([ e]) c

  b2 b8.([ a16]) |
  g2.
}
