(1) If you reduce this to a single keyword, then don't allow the
bare argument "3": \times 3 looks like \times 3/1 to me; so of
course, I'm a dodo, but I predict that Mats & Erik & several others
would wind up spending a lot of time explaining what "\times 7" (or
"\tuplet 7") means.
Indeed, `\times 3' is problematic, but `\tuplet 3' sounds clear to me.
Additionally, I suggest that `\tuplet 3' prints the `3' above the
group, while `\tuplet 3:2' prints `3:2' (which some composers prefer).
You *could* keep \times and *add* the keyword \tuplet with the
syntax \tuplet m:n {sequence-of-notes},
Actually, I would prefer this too.
Yes! \times is shorter than \tuplet to type.
