I have a bright idea: it's a special case.  New users will be encouraged 
to write
\tuplet 3:2 {c8 d e} \tuplet 3:2 { f e d} \tuplet 3:2 {e f g} \tuplet 
3:2 { f e d}

(that's what I do all the time anyway)

Advanced users who read the program reference to discover the 
tupletSpannerduration can deal with the extra complexity.  :)


... hmm, what about allowing
\tuplet 3:2 {c8 d e} \tuplet { f e d}

i.e. as well as remembering the duration 8, remember the value of \tuplet.
