Indeed, `\times 3' is problematic, but `\tuplet 3' sounds clear to me.
Additionally, I suggest that `\tuplet 3' prints the `3' above the
group, while `\tuplet 3:2' prints `3:2' (which some composers prefer).
You *could* keep \times and *add* the keyword \tuplet with the
syntax \tuplet m:n {sequence-of-notes},
Actually, I would prefer this too.
Yes! \times is shorter than \tuplet to type.
You're joking, right? It's one letter -- and it really _is_ a letter,
not one of those silly ()# characters that require the use of the shift key.
Although I like the idea of accepting both \tuplet 3:2 and \tuplet 2/3,
I don't like the notion of having \tuplet and \times. I suppose we
could keep \times as an old command and remove it from the manual to
avoid confusion... but that seems silly. Either eliminate \times, or
don't bother introducing \tuplet.
