Not a perfect replica, but hopefully a start:

%%%%
\version "2.22.0"

\fixed c'' {
  \time 2/20
  #(ly:expect-warning "strange time signature")
  \once \override TupletBracket.bracket-visibility = ##t
  \once \override TupletBracket.edge-height = #'(0.7 . 0)
  \once \override TupletBracket.shorten-pair = #'(0 . -1)
  \once \override TupletBracket.padding = 3
  \tuplet 5/4 { a16[ bes16] }
  \time 4/8
  r8
}
%%%%
