How about:
\version "2.24.4"
\relative {
\key g \minor
\clef bass
\time 12/8
\set subdivideBeams = ##t
\tupletDown
g,4.(~ g8
\override TupletBracket.shorten-pair = #'(0 . 0) %% default: '(-0.2 . -0.2)
\tuplet 3/2 8 { a16 bes c d e fis } g8) c c c c c |
% Just filler to crowd the first measure
c8 c c c c c c c c c c c |
c8 c c c c c c c c c c c |
}
Cheers,
Harm
