## Manually placed tuplet numbers

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

Or another approach would be something like this:

    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)
    bar
