Re: triplet bracket disappear

[Nick Didkovsky]

Hello Mats

Today I had the same problem appear on a piano part that I extracted 
with default staff size.   I got an 8th note followed by a qtr note, 
with only the number "3" below them, with no bracket. Boo.
This is a real problem, and as I understand there may not be a fix, how 
should I proceed to ensure that this issue is addressed in future 
version of LilyPond?

Thank-you
Nick
