My programming assistant is working on that feature too :-)

I'm not sure why.  See below.

>From page 8 of the manual for version 2.3:

"To double the duration of any note in an xtuplet, add the character D to
the symbol for that note. This will decrease the expected number of notes in
the xtuplet by one."

If not using the postscript slur package, I would code this

  (t f2 | fDx3 )t af | ...

With postscript slurs ("Ap"), you get real ties with

  f2 t | fDx3 t af | ...

BUT the exact locations of the start and ending of the tie are still being
negociated.
