The difficulty is that 'tuplet' can be an adjective in 'tuplet quarter note'.

The German http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notenwert#Triole
is more helpful: A 'Triole' is a group of (e.g.) three equal-length notes 
immediately following one another, that has total duration of only two such 
note-values.
And the grammar makes clear when Triolen is an adjective.  Vierteltriole is the 
group, Triolen-Viertel is one quarter note in the group.

The text in the patch is still perfectly clear.
