A tuplet is nothing more than a sequence of notes that do not have a
discrete duration like 1/4 or 1/8. For example, a 3/2 tuplet means the notes
have 2/3 of the notated durations. I'd say it would be feasible to write

   a8 \tuplet 3/2 { f8 a c } b

as

   a8 f5 a c b8

where 5 approximates the duration of 2/3*8 = 5.33.
Well, 1) using estimated values seems unprofessional, and 2) the point about a tuplet is that it’s not the same as a mere scaled duration: it creates a visual indication of the proportion. And the coding you propose mixes the two, I think. For me, if ever, a8 f5 a c b8 would be analogous to a8 f8*2/3 a c b8, which gives different output.

Yours, Simon
