Generally, Mup will place
tuplet
numbers for you.
However, you do need to print them yourself on
cross-staff beams.
And there may be cases where you choose
to use 'n' to turn off Mup's automatic printing of tuplet numbers,
in order to print them manually in a different place than Mup would.
Mup normally uses newcentury boldital font for tuplet numbers, in 11-point
size for regular notes and 9-point for cue notes.
So to make your manually placed tuplet numbers
look the same as automatic ones, you might use a
macro
something like this:
define TUPNUM(NUM) "\f(NX)\s(11)" +`NUM` @
1: { 8c; d; e; } 3n; 2.us;
rom above 1 dist0: 1.34 TUPNUM(3);
bar
define TN(NUM,WHERE,D,N) newcentury boldital WHERE dist D: N `NUM`;@
1: { 8c; d; e; } 3n; 2.us;
TN(3,above 1,0,1.34)
