One little note: you should specify what version of Lily and what OS you're
running.  I can confirm that this warning message is displayed on the
current CVS version (on Debian/testing).

I have no idea why it occurs, though.

It's a bit tricky since "\times 2/3 { blah }" needs to have the curly brackets.
If you just want a straight macro (say, for a repeating bass line) you could
do:

foo = \notes{ b4 b b b | a a a a | }

and then in your score you could have:
\score{\notes{
fis4 e d cis | \foo \foo \foo }}

You might be able to do
tr = \notes { \times 2/3 }

and then have:
[...]
\tr { a4 a a}

I guess that would save you a _bit_ of typing.  :)
