Tuplet brackets can be made to run to prefatory matter or the next note. Default tuplet brackets end at the right edge of the final note of the tuplet; full-length tuplet brackets extend farther to the right, either to cover all the non-rhythmic notation up to the following note, or to cover only the whitespace before the next item of notation, be that a clef, time signature, key signature, or another note. The example shows how to switch tuplets to full length mode and how to modify what material they cover.
\version "2.24"
\new RhythmicStaff {
% Set tuplets to be extendable...
\set tupletFullLength = ##t
% ...to cover all items up to the next note
\set tupletFullLengthNote = ##t
\time 2/4
\tuplet 3/2 { c4 4 4 }
% ...or to cover just whitespace
\set tupletFullLengthNote = ##f
\time 4/4
\tuplet 5/4 { 4 1 }
\time 3/4
2.
}
