Re: Tuplet bracket

[Michiel Sikma]

Thanks so much to both! I ended up using X-offset, and it works like a charm.

You're absolutely correct, Andrew. The score isn't particularly nice right now. The break is actually my bad, I'm pretty sure I failed to copy over something from my include files - since the bin had to be a self-contained file. So I noticed that there was something funny going on with the break in that version. The pedaling is also just a sketch too.

Still lots of things to do, but I'll try to make it look better. Maybe when I'm a bit further along I'll ask for some more feedback! Henle does have the nicest scores, so I was planning to buy their edition later to see.

Regards,

Michiel

Hi Malte,

Sure, depends which side you want to adjust of course, I am merely indicating a possible technique.

Michiel, speaking as a player myself, your example score seems fairly cramped and lacking what I call 'air', making it a bit hard to read. And there is definitely something wrong with the second line - the break is in the wrong spot. Looking at my Henle Verlag edition, they get more space on the first line by not having so many 32's on the end. Also of possible interest is that they use triplets with curved brackets not rectangular, which seems to make the cramping less severe. There was discussion about how to do these on the list fairly recently.

I am not suggesting you have to copy Henle, but it is very readable/playable edition in my opinion.

Shouldn’t this be #'(0.2 . 0) or similar but not #'(0 . 0.5) if you want
to shorten it at the left edge?

Alternatively, instead of shortening the tuplet bracket, you could move
the notes by inserting

        \once \override Score.NoteColumn.X-offset = 0.6

(try different values) at this place.
