\tuplet 3/2 # { ... }

(http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/writing-rhythms)
says:

<documentation>
When entering long passages of tuplets, having to write a separate
\tuplet command for each group is inconvenient. It is possible to
specify the duration of one tuplet group directly before the music in
order to have the tuplets grouped automatically:

g2 r8 \tuplet 3/2 8 { cis16 d e e f g g f e }
</documentation>

I cannot get this syntax to work with 2.19.13 within Frescobaldi:

<code>
e'\subitopp |
\tuplet 3/2 11 { e'8 e' e' e' e' e' e' e' e' e' e' e' } |
\tuplet 3/2 { d' d' d' d' d' d' c' c' c' c' c' c' } |
\tuplet 3/2 { d' d' d' d' d' d' c' c' c' } b b \bar "||"
</code>

<log output>

</log output>

What am I doing wrong? Without the number preceeding the { ... }
lilypond does create a series of triplets as I desire, yet the bracket
covers all four triplet groupings rather than each triplet. Just
trying to avoid the \tuplet 3/2 { } for *every* one, which seems to be
the point of the syntax.
