There is an LSR snippet


http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Snippet?id=328

This helped me for lots of triplets so for example:

---

\version "2.13.40"

% Function to simplify triplet
% syntax is \tpt { c d e }
tpt = #(define-music-function (parser location music) (ly:music?)
  #{ \times 2/3 $music #})

Mytriplets = { \tpt {c16\>[(d c\!)] } e16 \staccato }

{ \Mytriplets }


----

Gives you what you want I think, however I notice in your example that you
did NOT terminate your end-beam so I have added the second ']' don't
forget that!

Hope this helps.
