What about:
\tuplets 2/3 {c8 d e f e d e f g f e d }

We could also make \tuplet and \tuplets differ on the iterator level, so that 
the tupletSpannerDuration property affects \tuplets expressions but not 
\tuplet expressions.

BTW, in this case it may be good to register the fraction as its own argument 
type, so \tuplets and \tuplet are generic music functions, both with 
signature
(tuplet-fraction? music?)
