Re: triplets

[Mats Bengtsson]

A better solution is to tell LilyPond to automatically beam the
triplets this way, see "8.6.2 Setting automatic beam behavior" for
more details. For Jutta's example, just add

#(override-auto-beam-setting '(end 1 12 3 4) 1 4)
#(override-auto-beam-setting '(end 1 12 3 4) 2 4)

before the triplets start.

Also, to save some typing, I would recommend to read about the
tupletSpannerDuration property in the section on Tuplets.
The resulting example could then look something like:

\version "2.6.0"
{
\time 3/4
\key g \major
#(override-auto-beam-setting '(end 1 12 3 4) 1 4)
#(override-auto-beam-setting '(end 1 12 3 4) 2 4)
\set tupletSpannerDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 4)
\times 2/3 { b''8 b' g' b''8 b' g' b''8 b' g' }
}
