tuplet brackets

• Nov 13, 2011 - 15:55

I have my settings on auto bracket, but I only get tuplet brackets occasionally. Is there a general setting that will give me brackets every time for all tuplets? Also, if is there a way to bracket a stream of triplets w/out having to bracket each one at a time? Thanks.

It should be the case that you get brackets automatically any time they are actually required - basically, situations where the notes are not already beamed together. But it is true that some editions, particularly older ones, do use brackets even for simple triplets. This practice is not recommended by any modern style guides I am aware of, but still, it seems there should be a way to get that behavior if desired, since there is some historical precedence for it.
