Quite so. From lilypond-changes.info:
• Isolated durations in music sequences now stand for unpitched
notes. This may be useful for specifying rhythms to music or
scheme functions.
"Isolated durations in music sequences". You can place { } to make a
sequence. Telling different types of music function arguments apart is
tricky enough as it stands.
Would \tuplet 3/2 4 2 be a quarter triole followed by a half note, or a
half triole to be grouped in groups of quarter length?
