Hoofdstuk 4: Tweaking output 92

Note that the \tweak command must be preceded by an articulation mark since the tweaked
expression needs to be applied as an articulation itself. In case of multiple direction overrides (^
or _), the leftmost override wins since it is applied last.
Objects such as stems and accidentals are created later, and not directly from the following
event. It is still possible to use \tweak on such indirectly created objects by explicitly naming
the layout object, provided that LilyPond can trace its origin back to the original event:
This long form of the \tweak command can be described as
\tweak layout-object.layout-property value
The \tweak command must also be used to change the appearance of one of a set of nested
tuplets which begin at the same musical moment. In the following example, the long tuplet
bracket and the first of the three short brackets begin at the same musical moment, so any
\override command would apply to both of them. In the example, \tweak is used to distinguish
between them. The first \tweak command specifies that the long tuplet bracket is to be placed
above the notes and the second one specifies that the tuplet number is to be printed in red on
the first short tuplet bracket.
\tweak direction #up
\tuplet 3/4 {
\tweak color #red
\tuplet 3/2 { c8[ c c] }
\tuplet 3/2 { c8[ c c] }
\tuplet 3/2 { c8[ c c] }
}

If nested tuplets do not begin at the same moment, their appearance may be modified in the
usual way with \override commands:
\tuplet 3/2 { c8[ c c] }
\once \override TupletNumber.text = #tuplet-number::calc-fraction-text
\tuplet 3/2 {
c8[ c]
c8[ c]
\once \override TupletNumber.transparent = ##t
\tuplet 3/2 { c8[ c c] }
\tuplet 3/2 { c8[ c c] }
}
