I don't know if I'm missing the desired functionality but this is what I 
do.  It may or not be as easy as what you want.

esTuplets = \set tupletSpannerDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 8)
eeTuplets = \set tupletSpannerDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 4)
eqTuplets = \set tupletSpannerDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 2)

%The second letter is *s*ixteenth, *e*ighth, *q*uarter

I just execute the one I want for the code which follows it.

Forgive me if I'm not understanding your need.
