    Tuplets are made with the ‘\tuplet’ keyword.  It takes two arguments:
 a fraction and a piece of music.  The fraction is the number of tuplet
 notes over the number of notes normally filling the same duration.  For
 triplets, there are three notes instead of two, so triplets have 3/2 as
 their fraction.

      \tuplet 3/2 { d4 a8 }
