Project
- Use or create a score with many tuplets, where the tuplets start or end with a rest (example score attached).
- By the rules of Elaine Gould's "Behind Bars", tuplets with a rest must use a bracket as well as the number.
- Use Format > Style... > Tuplets > Maximum slope, to set max slope to zero.
Expected result: all tuplet brackets should be exactly horizontal
Actual result: tuplet brackets vary from the horizontal enough to be visually irritating
Suggestion:
a) Expose the Maximum Slope property in the Inspector
b) Add a checkbox for "Set bracket horizontal" to force the issue on multi-selected tuplets
Without a new multi-select option in the Inspector, attempting to make all the tuplet brackets exactly horizontal is a painstaking and very time-consuming task. And the task is even worse if the score was created in MS2 and is then edited in MS3.

Seems like this would be relatively straightforward, we'd need to add "horizontal" as a "styled property" (so tuplets get their value from the style setting if not overridden in the Inspector).
I just got "hit" by this when trying to create the example for https://musescore.org/en/node/296893
The workaround of setting the maximum slope to 0 doesn't work (so that probably needs fixing as well). It looks like
0,05sp
is the minimal required value for that setting to take effect."Maximum slope" is not working for me, the tuplets stay completely the same whatever value I put into it.
Re: "Maximum slope", see #280472: Tuplet brackets won't slope.
If "Maximum slope" already doesn't work in 3.0, why is this issue reported in 3.2?
Because nobody noticed it before I guess.

I actually meant this #294098, but yeah, this suggestion has little relation with maximum slope actually. And maybe this is exactly why the OP found maximum slope not statisfying: it completely doesn't work!
Likely indeed
