Hi Simon,

Hope you're enjoying using Lilypond.

I think your problem is actually not related to the g-sharp at all. The
\times construct takes just two arguments: the first is the ratio (2/3
as you have) and the second is the list of notes to be enclosed in the
tuplet.

Try this:

\times 2/3 { g4 g g } r2

If you need another crotchet before the triplet, then that goes in front
of \times:

g4 \times 2/3 { g g g } r2

Here you can omit the 4 in the tuplet as lilypond is already working in
crotchets.

Hope this helps.
