I haven’t used that latter notation, simply. Though LilyPond admits just a 
sequence of time value fractions, tuples come with beaming structure, so not 
really fractions 3/2 but proportions 3:2, different from 6:4, which might be a 
reason I didn’t use it. Also, I find these irregular meter tricky to get right 
in timing, so I copy in place the right \tuplet with brackets and then edit in 
the notes within the brackets. And, the use of \times is because it is some old 
code I was editing when getting this irrational meter idea.
