That's fair enough, but I'm still inclined to think that whatever the display 
style used, there may be some value in allowing tuplets to be entered not just 
as ratios of numbers, but as ratios of musical durations: e.g. {8*7}/{4*3}, or 
{16*6}/{8.~8}.

Note that unlike my earlier suggestion I'm _not_ proposing this as a way to 
force a particular display style, although it might be useful in _enabling_ some 
display choices (hope that distinction is clear).
