There is one problem with this: If the 'most common' tuplet duration is 1/4,
but you occasionally have a different tuplet with _longer_ duration, then
tupletSpannerDuration will break the long tuplet into several shorter
durations, unless you always remember to \unset tupletSpannerDuration all the
time.
So, in irregular, tuplet-intensive music it may be sensible to create a music
function for sequences of tuplets. In addition, it's IMHO a more
lilypondesque solution than tupletSpannerDuration, once we support fractions
as music function arguments.
