RE: Changing the direction of a tuplet bracket

Try \tupletUp ahead of where you wish to implement the change in direction…there’s also \tupletDown, \tupletNeutral

I agree, the NR section you refer to could be made clearer.  You are given a link for manual placement, while the positioning commands are just a few lines down on the primary page under the heading “Predefined commands”.
