Description
Your idea
Would like the ability to use a number other than the actual tuplet numerator (e.g. show "6" when it's actually a triplet)
Problem to be solved
I've entered a bunch of music in triplets over 1/2 notes. In most cases it looks fine with a 3 but when it's 6 1/8 notes it looks wrong, and I would like to display as a 6. Either that or split such triplets into two triplets over 1/4 notes.
Prior art
No response
Additional context
Alternatively I'd think it should be fine if you can modify the actual underlying tuplet ratio providing it makes sense to do so.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the existing tuplet display and ratio handling, then compare the requested displayed number with the underlying triplet behavior. Done means a tuplet can show 6 for the described six-eighth-note case without breaking musically valid ratios.
