Just a note here: this can be done quite more concisely by writing
duplet =
#(define-music-function (parser location d music)
  ((ly:duration? *unspecified*) ly:music?)
  #{ \tuplet 2 $d #music #})

I prefer using #music here since it preserves a 1:1 relation between
identifier and function argument (and saves a copying), while the whole
point of $d is to _not_ preserve a 1:1 relation, making $*unspecified*
disappear without a trace as opposed to what #*unspecified* would do.
