So, i believe that LilyPond shouldn't always follow her users'
intuition, even if they are professional musicians. In this case, i
think that \tuplet 2/3 is better than \tuplet 3/2 (for 3 notes in time
of 2), because it corresponds to mathematical ratio, and is similar to
scaling durations.
+1
-1 from me for this one. We have \times for that already and I can't
count the times it took me to get the fraction right. And with the name
"\times" there is at least the mnemonic of the name itself.
I am not in favour of allowing different commands \times 2/3 and \tuplet
3/2 to do the same job. My voice would go to: just keep \times x/y the way
it is. I can't see what makes 3/2 easier than 2/3. And having the choice
of two commands doing the same job with a slightly different syntax only
makes things more confusing for me.
