No, I've never heard about that command before. :-/
But it worked with -f 1.4, so everything is fine now. :-)
Thanks!

Ok, I'll try that.
(*type, type*)
Hm, I think it's Voice.TupletBracket, not Score.TupletBracket.
And I like a value of -6.8 best, because this gives me the 
denominator on the same side as the slurs (instead of forcing
the slurs on the other side wich looks rather ugly).
Now there's only one thing left: I can't start the slur after
a rest, e.g. \times 2/3 {r8( a )g} gives me errors (after interpreting
the music, during paper output):
programming error: Infinity or NaN encountered while converting
Real number; setting to zero. (Continuing; cross thumbs)
So a few of my triplets look a bit strange now, but the rest is
really great!
