Re: tuplet brackets colliding or missing

[Karim . Haddad]

Dear Trevor

THanx a lot it works great!
concerning the missing bracket i had a doubt about space.
for the diamond shaped notes , i use petrucci, but not for the alignement
it is a sort of manierism, since i am writing motets , and as anhomage to
the XVth century composers i use this . But anyhow for the singers i will
do a quantified version using modern notation and not the one i use for
composing.
I will as soon as i finish all the stuff hopefully in a few months, i will
send u the result which was made possible in part due to Lilypond
capabilities and all of you that put some necessary innovations into it.
Bravo!

Best to you all
K
