Re: Tuplets, Brackets and Slurs

Well, if you want to set it separately for each Voice. 
If you set Score.TupletBracket, the setting applies to 
all the Voices. Another possibility to set it globally
once and for all is to set it in the \paper section:

\score{
  ...
  \paper{
    ...
    \translator{
      \ScoreContext
      TupletBracket \override #'padding = ...
    }
  }
}

For the third time today, a problem occurs that can be solved 
by an invisible note \times 2/3 {<r8 \blanknote g (> a ) g}

where \blanknote can be defined similarly to the example
blank-notes.ly at http://lilypond.org/stable/input/test/out-www/test.html
but using the new \once feature:

blanknote = { \once \property Voice.NoteHead
               \override #'transparent  = ##t
               \once \property Voice.Stem
               \override #'transparent = ##t }
