c8 d8 \times 2/3 { e8. f16 g8 } with c8 d8 e12. f24 g12Then the time signature would only have influence of how this was turned into notation and not on how the durations was to be interpreted.
Over time one should make an auto-tuplet-engraver automatically grouping triplet notes in approx. the same way as the auto-beam-engraver does, but for a start we could add grouping syntax, like
c8 d8 [[e12. f24 g12]]to indicate where the tuplets go. - Or perhaps the new ligature-grouping-syntax (which I don't remember) could be used for this.
I know that strictly speaking, following this idea, any integer duration should be allowed (not just powers of 2 and 3) - but I think that storing the duration (2^n)*(3^m) as (n,m,0) would make things a lot easier to cope with - and for practical purposes I see no problems in sticking with the old times-syntax whenever one needs a non-triplet tuplet.
