The `pageTurn*` renamings are fine with me.

I suggest to use `tupletBracketLength` and `voltaSpannerLength` –
these are rarely used properties, I think, and a user have to look
them up anyway, so with a concise description the shorter names should
be fine IMHO.

And what about `proportionalNotationBaseLength`?
