IWBNI there were an option that could be used to specify that markings for unbeamed tuplets should be vertically positioned relative to the extreme note of the tuplet group. Here, the extreme note means the note that is farthest from the center staff line and is on the same side of the staff as the tuplet marking.

As it is now, tuplet markings are positioned relative to the first note or rest of the tuplet group. As a result, in some cases, the default position of a tuplet marking will be such that the marking collides with notes of the tuplet group as shown in the following figure:

This could be implemented by adding a checkbox called Position Relative to Extreme Note to the Display section of the Tuplet Definition and Default Tuplet Visual Definition dialog boxes.
