Well, since it really is a "symbolic integer" rather than numeric, it
would feel appropriate to write this as

\tuplet3 { ... }
\tuplet2 { ... }

Of course, the absence of the space is purely a matter of writing style
here; it makes no semantic difference.  But for _this_ usage pattern, it
feels like a somewhat natural choice.
