Scaling durations is a better way to go: invisible tuplets always somehow
manage to impact the spacing of other objects in unpredictable ways. And
don't be fooled by trying to X-extent, Y-extent and friends to false or
zero; there's always some small thing somewhere that will throw off
spacing, and it can potentially take hours to notice the fact and then
correct it.
Go with duration multipliers (like in Brett's response) or the
\scaleDurations function.
