Do Not Obscure Tuplet Hook Tips with Black Handles

IWBNI the black handles that are drawn at the tip of each hook of a tuplet were positioned so that the hook tips would be visible. As it is now, these handles are drawn at the hook tips and as a result, hook tips are obscured.

This feature would simplify the task of adjusting the vertical position of a tuplet bracket when adjustments are made by using the nudge keys and one wishes to position the tuplet hook tips at a given location.

This could be implemented by moving the placement of tuplet hook handles away from the hook tips as shown in the following figure:
