Hi Karim,

Maybe tweaking the 'staff-padding and 'padding settings for
TupletBracket can help? Like this:

    %%%%%%% these two overrides work together %%%%%%%%%%%
    \override TupletBracket #'staff-padding = #1.5
    \override TupletBracket #'padding = #2

This combination cleans up all the overlaps except the 3:2 in measures
5 and 9; see answer to next question.

These brackets aren't showing up because Lily decides there's no room
to display them. The solution is to create more room. Probably the
easiest way to create more room is to insert manual \break commands.
I've put just two \break commands in your input; the 3:2 brackets now
have room to print.

See attached.

Unrelated question: are you using the diamond noteheads because you
like the diamonds, or because you want the stems to align at the exact
*center* of the notehead (like in Xenakis)?
