For a Leventikos, like Egejki Majki, I use
  \time 3,2,2,3,2 12/8
  \override TupletNumber.text = #tuplet-number::calc-fraction-text
which has duplets on the 3s, I use this first:
\once \override TupletNumber.text = 
  #(tuplet-number::fraction-with-notes (ly:make-duration 2 0) (ly:make-duration 
2 1))
  \tuplet 2/3 {f16 g a d,}  …
to get small notes added. And then
  \tuplet 2/3 {f16 g a c,} …
just writes numbers over. I get small hooks over
  \times 2/3 {f4\trill~f8} …

It does not look so intrusive.
