Tuplet numbers are incorrectly positioned
Tested with self built MuseScore on OS: Windows 10 (10.0), Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (32-bit): 3.0.0, revision: 44304ca
It is really popular issue. The following vtests show it: tuplets-1, tuplets-2, beams-3, beams-4, beams-10.
1. Open attached score.
2. Go to measure 3, 6, 11.

relates to #275344: [EPIC] Displaying elements, position and layout when opening 2.X scores in 3.0
Is it our goal now to make scores loaded in 3.0 look exactly like they did in 2.x? I must have missed that discussion. Regarding tuplet numeral positioning, Elaine Gould has this to say:
![IMG_0085.JPG]( "IMG_0085.JPG")
(Behind Bars, pg. 194)
What is more concerning to me is that the tuplet numbers are not centered vertically in the bracket (when there is a bracket). It looks like the positioning has been changed by the same amount whether there is a bracket or not.
Well, not exactly like in 2.x, but better, but definitely not worse.
While testing, I found several examples, where 3.0 places elements much better automatically, than it is done in some of musescore.com scores. I will prepare forum topic about this comparison next week.
Current progress:
Here is how tuplet looks like

@mattmcclinch What do you think?
I found the new bug. In 3.0 the default font of tuplet number is not italic. More than that this font cannot be changed by clicking corresponding button in the inspector.
You are correct that the tuplet numeral should be printed in italic. I noticed that you have centered the numeral inside the bracket, which is good. The slope of the bracket should match the slope of the beam in the first example (See Gould, 196-197), but the horizontal bracket in the second example is correct.
Thanks. I recreated tuplet like in the first picture. And the slope of the bracket is horizontal. I believe I manually changed the slope before when I tested tuplet.
