#### tuplet-bracket-interface

A bracket with a number in the middle, used for tuplets. When the bracket spans a line break, the value of `break-overshoot` determines how far it extends beyond the staff. At a line break, the markups in the `edge-text` are printed at the edges.

##### User settable properties:

`bracket-flare` (pair of numbers)
  A pair of numbers specifying how much edges of brackets should slant outward. Value 0.0 means straight edges
`bracket-visibility` (boolean or symbol)
  This controls the visibility of the tuplet bracket. Setting it to false will prevent printing of the bracket. Setting the property to `'if-no-beam` will make it print only if there is no beam associated with this tuplet bracket.
`break-overshoot` (pair of numbers)
  How much does a broken spanner stick out of its bounds?
`connect-to-neighbor` (pair)
  Pair of booleans, indicating whether this grob looks as a continued break.
`control-points` (list)
  List of offsets (number-pairs) that form control points for the tie/slur/bracket shape. For beziers, this should list the control points of a 3rd order bezier curve.
`direction` (direction)
  #UP or #DOWN, #LEFT or #RIGHT? (or a numerical value, #UP=1, #DOWN=-1, #LEFT=-1, #RIGHT=1, CENTER=0)
`edge-height` (pair)
  A pair of number specifying the heights of the vertical edges '(left-height . right-height).
`edge-text` (pair)
  A pair specifying the texts to be set at the edges '(left-text . right-text).
`gap` (dimension, in staff space)
  Size of a gap in a variable symbol.
`padding` (dimension, in staff space)
  Add this much extra space between objects that are next to each other.
`positions` (pair)
  Pair of staff coordinates `(`left`.` right`)`, where both left and right are in the staff-space unit of the current staff.
`shorten-pair` (pair of numbers)
  The lengths to shorten a text-spanner on both sides, for example a pedal bracket
`staff-padding` (dimension, in staff space)
  Maintain this much space between reference points and the staff. Its effect is to align objects of differing sizes (like the dynamic p and f) on their baselines.
`thickness` (number)
  Bar line thickness, measured in `line-thickness`.

##### Internal properties:

`note-columns` (pair)
  list of NoteColumn grobs.
`tuplet-number` (layout object)
  the number for a bracket.
`tuplets` (unknown)
  list of smaller tuplet brackets

This grob interface is used in the following graphical objects: LigatureBracket and TupletBracket
