Notation option to not have bracket over 16th triplets

Is there an option I am missing to auto do tuplets like the first set (no bracket)? Dorico always seems to default to the bracket when dealing with 16ths. Thanks!

I have scripted hiding them but always good to see if there is a default.

Does it help?

Sorry, I just tried, and it doesn’t help!

unfortunately not

I think I remember a thread about this. It’s because of the beam (if you unbeam from the beginning of the triplet, the bracket disappears — provided you’ve selected the option I mentioned in the previous post.)

So, you maybe have to deal manually with that…

I think the idea is to prevent this (which would be indeed confusing):

But I agree that for a eighth-16th triplet group, the bracket is suprfluous.

Edit: I found the thread I was thinking about:
