Re: vertical spacing of articulations and tuplet indications

[Mats Bengtsson]

You can easily adjust the vertical location yourself by
changing the property called padding on the TupletBracket
object and/or the Script object. If you search the mailing
list archives, you can find lots of examples on the syntax to
set the padding property of different objects.
