What error are you referring to, exactly? In case of my last snippet, which
produces a tuplet of three skips, it compiles fine with previous versions.

Of course I'll wait for the fix, there's no need for me to have my library
compatible with 2.25.0.
However, one thing is not clear to me. The tracked issue (
https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/6482 ) talks about improving
a failure message for a weird tuplet, but I ask: should a tuplet of skips
raise an error or warning?
