Re: Moving tuplet number

[Andrew Bernard]

Gentlemen, Thank You!

Here’s a simplified example of the horizontal shift of the tuplet number that I want to achieve. The key to it is the understanding of the use of the X-extent property. Thank you so much for your help.

\version "2.19.17"

bass = \relative c {

  \time 1/4

  \clef bass

  \once \override TupletNumber.text = #tuplet-number::calc-fraction-text

  \once \override TupletBracket.bracket-visibility = ##t

  \once \override TupletNumber.whiteout = ##t

  \override Score.TupletNumber.layer = #3

  \once \override TupletNumber.X-offset = #14

  \once \override TupletNumber.X-extent = #empty-interval

  \tuplet 7/8 { c32 bes c dis c d ees }

}

\score {

  \new Staff = \bass

}

The score I am engraving is a New Complexity school work, and the issue in the full context is to shift the tuplet number to avoid a messy collision in an extremely subtle score. This is an excellent solution for what I am doing.

I wonder if this would be a useful LSR snippet?
