I understand from the manual and the archives that \set tupletSpanner... etc.
will do what I am expecting, but in the interest of making the language more
intuitive, esp. for new users, it is worth considering having the default
behaviour as follows:
\tuplet 3:2 {c8 d e f g a} yielding:
__3__ __3__
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
X X X X X X
which is what I would expect from an instruction told to parse a musical
stream such that 3 notes take the space of two. Instead, what I do get is
rather meaningless:
+-------3-------+
_____ _____
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
X X X X X X
It means a new user has to set an internal variable to get the behaviour they
expect. It would make more sense to have an experienced user, who might want
the latter, setting the internal variable to get the more unusal behaviour.
