Gradus GE-410 · cite this code — it is permanent. Rule id vs-tuplet-bracket-beam-clearance
A tuplet bracket is drawn only when the group is NOT already beamed together; when a bracket IS drawn (unbeamed tuplet), it must clear the noteheads/stems it spans.
A beamed eighth-note triplet renders BOTH a bracket directly overlapping the beam AND the '3', when standard practice shows just the '3' with no bracket.
Gould, Behind Bars, ch. 'Tuplets' — explicit rule that the bracket is suppressed under a beam unless the beam doesn't make the grouping clear; Ross covers the same convention.
This rule needs the notated content and the rendered result together — the score says what should happen, the page says whether it did.
Gradus GE-410 — A tuplet bracket/number must clear the beam it runs parallel to, or be omitted when the beam alone is unambiguous. Gradus Engraving Rulebook v1.0. https://gradusmusic.com/engraving/rule/vs-tuplet-bracket-beam-clearance
