I have a Cello piece from Sebastian Lee, that uses quite a lot of tuplets.

My snippet with the default LilyPond setting looks like this:

this looks pretty nice, the problem is that a beginner could easaly think this was the fingering, especially in this example where as the b would be actually played with a third finger on the G string.

So I used \override TupletBracket.bracket-visibility = ##t to print the tuplet spanner/bracket that results in a very ugly print:

One edition, that is available on IMSLP looks like this:

which I personally find somewhat nicer (not to be misunderstood, I'm only talking about the tuplet spanner, not about the whole print)

Does anyone on here know for a possible tweak of the spanner, to make it rather look like this small bow in the third example?
