Apologies for coming late with these next remarks, but it's perhaps
worth thinking about quite how flexible a \tuplet command could be, in
respect of some of the various modern notations out there.

Just to give a flavour, besides the standard

                         |------ n ------|

(i.e. bracket with number), and the almost-as-standard

                         |----- n : m -----|

(i.e. ratio), you also might encounter something like,

                         |----- 3 : 2 {2} -----|
or
                         |----- 3 {2} : 2 -----|

where {2}, {4}, {8} etc. represents a written half, quarter, eighth
note, etc.

I implemented those functions for MusicXML import. Note, however, that lilypond does not automatically use those, you have to manually set them as shown in the snippets.

Cheers,
Reinhold
