Use \times 2/3. \times $n/$m means "$m in the time of $n", i.e. for
triplets "3 in the time of 2".

Note that the fraction argument to \times is totally unrelated to the
current note length. For example,

    c4 \times 2/3 {d8 e b} c c \times 2/3 {d e b}

means "quarter c, eight triplet d-e-b, eight c-c, eight triplet d-e-b".
