You could write the stem-down notes (untested)
\times 1/4 {e4} \times 1/3 {g8.} \times 1/2 {b8} e16

or maybe even
e4*1/4 g8.*1/3 b8*1/2 16

Usually you have to turn off tuplet numbers and tuplet brackets
when you use \times for this purpose, but for single notes, I 
don't think they're printed anyway.
