Disappearing tuplet brackets has happened to me. They are in the finale score, I can still see them, but when I make an eps from that page, they are, randomly, on occasion, gone. Replacing the offenders with non-engraver tuplets has fixed it for me. It happens rarely, but it does happen. One

Just one final thing before I go! :) When I create similar (i.e. combination of quaver and crotchet triplets) _non_ engraver tuplets, the problem doesn't arise. Very strange. Ah, well, looks like I'm the only one experiencing this oddity- what on earth could be causing this on my system though.
