Have you tried setting TupletNumber's priority to be smaller than
TupletBracket? It results TupletNumber moving twice as far as it should
(making it collide with "foo"), because first it translates itself and
then it gets moved again because TupletBracket moves, and its position
is measured relative to TupletBracket.

It would also be possible for some grob to insert itself between the
TupletBracket and the TupletNumber, which isn't particularly nice
either. So I think some form of "rider" functionality is necessary. I do
it a little differently in my branch, which even allows the TupletNumber
to affect the position of the TupletBracket.

Cheers,
Joe
