Do we need all these commands?
Can't we just have \tupelet and then a qualifier (or whatever it is
called) that then determines if it is 3/2. 2/3, 6/4 etc.
I may be the only one but no one that I play with makes any
distinction from a musical point of view between a 'tupelet' that is
2/3 and one that is, say, 5/3 or 6/4. They are all 'tupelets.

Am I missing something Ian (if so, sorry)?
