The math is very simple, you want to squeeze in 3 half notes
to have the same duration as 2 normal half notes, so each of them
has to be 2/3 times as long as normal.
The tupletSpannerDuration property, on the other hand, is something
completely different. Normally, when you use \times 2/3 {...}, you
will get a single |_____ 3 ____ | bracket for all the notes within the
{...}, in other words, you have to write a new \times 2/3 {...} for
each new triplet. The solution to this problem is tupletSpannerDuration,
which splits a long run of triplet notes into a number of separate
triplet brackets. The value of the property should be the total duration
of each triplet, which is a full bar in your example. Of course, if you
don't need this feature, you should \unset the property again.

Now that the previous triplets question is answered and working
properly howabout this one -
I have 4/4 time, 3 triplet 1/2 notes in one measure. I can get the 3
notes in the measure, but the triplet indicator is the # 3 under each
individual note, and no bar.
\times 2/3 {fs2 fs fs ~}
I've tried some variations on this -
\set tupletSpannerDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 4)
in front of it but to no avail.
Did you set this previously? It says group the tuplets in quarter (1
/ 4) note groups which is smaller than the grouping you are
indicating. The correct one for a 4 quarter note (one whole note)
grouping would be:
\set tupletSpannerDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 1)
meaning whole note (1/1) groupings.
I took me a while to figure out how that related to the tuplets I wanted.
I would guess there is a way to reset tupletSpannerDuration to get it
back out if the way but I haven't looked that up yet. Otherwise once
you use it in a score you will have to keep changing it for each new
tuplet group size.

Thanks Paul,
I did have it set previously in the music for another set of triplets. I
set it to make-monent 1 1 and it now prints the half-note triplets
correctly. I guess I just don't understand the \times fraction (I'm
lousy at anything matematical), how it actually works, I've just been
shooting in the dark, trying differant numbers until it 'works'.

Chip
