Hi Craig, there's one (minor) issue for readability that I notice. It's 
not your fault but LilyPond's but you may search for a way to improve it 
nevertheless.

When tuplet number happen to fall into a staff they are not clearly 
readable. Probably it doesn't matter too much because you don't actually 
_read_ them anyway but just notice that they are there.
Especially problematic is when they fall exactly in a staff space as in 
m. 134ff. where the extenders of the number coincide with the staff lines.

I'm not sure about the best treat, however. Some ideas:

- moving the numbers
- using whiteout
- selecting a heavier font face

I don't see a real treat for it, but you may take it as some input.
