I was unsure on that one, as I know that all kinds of syntax constructs changed 
over the years. Thanks for dropping in and correcting me on that.

In any case the Lilypond version in use on the website is definitely not a 
stock 2.14 if the original \tuplet code ran fine and Richard’s snippet gave 
only the UP trouble mentioned...

I trialled a bit with versions to try and get to the same error and had to go 
to 2.17.6 before 

error: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting SCM_FUNCTION or SCM_IDENTIFIER 
or SCM_TOKEN
 \override TupletBracket.stencil 
                                 = #ly:slur::printVia trial-and-error I found 
out that the version o

would disappear and even to 2.17.11 to get

error: unknown escaped string: `\tuplet'
                         \tuplet 3/2 { c''4 d'' e'’ }

to disappear. So lets hope that using the literals works… signing off for a 
night of sleep now
