Back to the original topic…I also would like to request an option to turn off tuplet brackets completely. I never use them in certain styles of music. Thank you.
@MarcLarcher : Would you mind explaining how you made your macro to hide tuplet brackets (and/or numbers)? I’ve tried but without success. The documentation about making macros is sketchy at best. I made a lua script and named it, but placing it in Library/Application Support/Steinberg/Dorico 5/Macros has no effect (also outside of the Macros folder) and it doesn’t appear in the jump bar.
OK, one has to put the lua file into Script Plug-ins, after which it appears in the Script menu, but how do you attach a keystroke to it or, better yet, a jump bar command? I could do it in Keyboard Maestro but I’d prefer to keep it within Dorico.
I don’t think you can create a key shortcut for the command, but you can create a Jump Bar alias.
The script itself just needs to be four lines:
local app=DoApp.DoApp()
app:doCommand([[Filter.Tuplets]])
app:doCommand([[UI.InvokePropertyChangeValue?Type=kTupletTextContent&Value=string: "kNone"]])
app:doCommand([[UI.InvokePropertyChangeValue?Type=kTupletBracketVisibility&Value=string: "kHidden"]])
… and that will hide tuplets in any selection.

Thanks, Ben. I’ll save the script although, as the lua script does appear in the Scripts menu, I’ve assigned a KM key command to it which, handily, automatically gets copied and updated on all machines.

Script menu is what I’ve been using all those years. Would I like to put a keyboard shortcut to it natively? Certainly. I might giving it a Keyboard maestro shortcut after all 
Nice, Ben! Since using KM I’d forgotten that one could also execute menu items from within the system. Handy for those without a macro program.
