understand that you don't want to change that for programming issues.
It is not possible to determine whether "long" tuplets should be
splitted or not; how then would you determine whether
\tuplet 3:2 {c4 c8 c c4}
should be printed as
|----- 3 ----|

or as
|- 3 -| |- 3 -|

?
In your example,
\set tupletSpannerDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 4)
can already save from typing \tuplet (\times today) a lot of times.
Cheers,
Yes, I was wondering about this too. It seems to me that either you
still need to have \set tupletSpannerDuration or you need to build the
tuplet duration into the tuplet function itself, e.g. \tuplet 3:2 2. {c
c8 c c4} for John's first example, and \tuplet 3:2 4. {c4 c8 c c4} for
the second. But then this is probably making \tuplet a little more
complicated than people would like. (unless maybe the duration value is
optional and can be omitted?)
Just a thought.
