nested tuplet problem

Hello everyone, I recently began working with Lilypond and am very excited about the possibilities. I have however encountered a problem I can't seem to work around and wonder if this is a bug. If you have a nested tuplet that begins as the first event of the enveloping tuplet, any options of

Mr. Schmaus, My problem was a coding issue, not a musical issue. I wanted a coding solution to save keystrokes but everyone wanted to talk music theory. So I thought I would ask here where everyone knows both. In the end, I've learned that there's no easy coding solution and that I'm going to
