I think you misunderstand the way durations work in LilyPond. Since
all durations are fractions of a semibreve, a duration of 3 is
equivalent to a triplet minim:
\relative c' {
\time 3/3
\times 2/3 {
c2 c c
}
}
A dotted crotchet has the length of three quavers, so can only be
represented by the fraction 3/8.
