Did you set this previously?  It says group the tuplets in quarter (1 / 
4) note groups which is smaller than the grouping you are indicating.  
The correct one for a 4 quarter note (one whole note) grouping would be:
\set tupletSpannerDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 1)
meaning whole note (1/1) groupings.

I took me a while to figure out how that related to the tuplets I wanted.

I would guess there is a way to reset tupletSpannerDuration to get it 
back out if the way but I haven't looked that up yet.  Otherwise once 
you use it in a score you will have to keep changing it for each new 
tuplet group size.
