Situation:
(eighths triplet:) rest, note, note, then four sixteenths, slur from
first triplet note (= second triplet item) to the first of the four
sixteenths.
Where should I put the triplet bracket? The slur goes over the notes.
[Note: my preferences are informed by the fact that I do mostly choral
work (where there is the added issue of lyrics, but where generally each
voice is on its own staff) and keyboard work.]
I would be inclined to put the slur and tuplet bracket on opposite sides
of the staff. However, it seems to me that slurs and ties are more
labile, and that tuplet brackets are more often fixed above the staff,
so in this case (and in the absence of further information) I'd be
inclined to put the tuplet bracket above, and the slur below.
If the bracket and slur have to go on the same side, then I'd put the
bracket closest to the notes, and have the slur end just above the
bracket, but below the numeral.
