Given that, according to a few users, the word "tuplet" is
completly made-up anyway, I don't think that's a big concern. :)
On a slightly more serious note, what about using
\mult
as short for \multiply ?
Yes, this is still partly tongue-in-cheek, but it might make
everybody happy: no confusion with \time, math purists can rejoin
in \mult 2/3, and \mult is even shorter than \times.
... hmm, I admit that it's annoying that your right hand needs to
hit the \ and then m keys; \tuplet has the advantage of using the
left hand for the t...
Any other synonyms of \times come to mind?
