subscripted text and the closest staff line or note.
- @item @code{verticalDirection}@indexcode{verticalDirection}

property.

Determines the direction of triplets and other tuplets. Set to
@code{\down} to force them below the staff, @code{\up} to force
them above, or @code{\free} to let LilyPond decide.
- @item @code{tupletVisibility}@indexcode{tupletVisibility}
- Determines whether tuplets of notes are labelled. Setting
- to 0 shows nothing; setting to 1 shows a number;
- setting to 2 shows a number and a bracket if there is no
- beam; setting to 3 shows a number, and if there is no beam
- it adds a bracket; setting to 4 shows both a number and a
- bracket unconditionally.

+
+ These properties the visibility of the tuplet bracket and its
+number respectively. Setting it to false will prevent printing of the
+associated element. Setting the property to 'if-no-beam will make it
+print only if there is no beam associated with this tuplet bracket.
