Hi, Hugh,

it's nothing to do with the triplets themselves. In time 3/4, the whole 
measure gets a common beam by default.
To change it, either use manual beams like
  \times 2/3 { e,8[ e' b] } \times 2/3 {gis8[ e' b] } \times 2/3 { b[ e 
b] }  %% The [ and ] are the interesting parts.
or
  \overrideBeamSettings #'Voice #'(3 . 4) #'end #'((* . (1 1 1))) .  %% 
Replace Voice by Staff or Score if you want the change to affect a 
larger range.

By the way, you can also use
  \set tupletSpannerDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 4)
then you don't need to write all the tuplets separated, but you can just say
  \times 2/3 { e,8 e' b   gis8 e' b   b e b } .


Cheers,
Alexander
