i.e. the slur would go over the number and not through the number as it

This used to be popular but it is a bad idea because you can't tell

See the triplets in my "Alegrias for Rose" on my site, for a better
than standard triplet bracket.  It's been in use in the Philippines
for some decades.

number would be put just above the noteheads or beam wherever they are
in the staff.
