True, but I say "easiest" because the solution of creating a non-standard time
signature will lead to a lot of changing between dead and not-dead tuplet
stencils.
nixtup = {\once \override TupletBracket #'stencil = ##f \once \override
TupletNumber #'stencil = ##f }
{
\time 2/10
\nixtup
\times 4/5 { c'8 c'8 }
\nixtup
\times 4/5 { c'8 c'8 }
\nixtup
\times 4/5 {
% no nix tup because this is a nested tuplet that we want to see.
\times 2/3 { c'8 c'8 c'8 }
}
}
Whereas the time signature stencil change avoids this sort of book-keeping.
However, if you are harvesting data from engravers and/or using MIDIs, then
Joseph is absolutely right - \time 2/10 is the best way to do it.
Cheers,
