If you want a dotted eight note to have the duration of two
triplet eight notes, you want 3/4 * X quarter notes to be
the same as 2/3 quarter notes, which gives X= 2/3 /(3/4) = 8/9.
Similarly, to make a sixteenth note have the duration of a triplet
eight note, you want 1/4 * X quarter notes to be 1/3 quarter note,
so X= 4/3. This gives <<{c8.*8/9 c16*4/3} \\ \times 2/3 {r8 c c}>>.I leave it as an exercise for you to find a solution, where you modify the durations of the triplets to match the dotted rhythm instead of the other way around.

Thanks for the answer supplied long ago for how to connect similar noteheads of different voices. Once I got lilypond back up on my computer it worked nicely.
Then, tonight, I came upon this to balance: __________ | ------| | | * . * * | | 7 | | ---- 3
In other words, a dotted eighth beamed to a sixteenth. The lower voice is a triplet of eighths, the first of which is a rest. The last notehead is the same for both voices.
If everything were eighths like I was used to, it would be 8*4/3 then 8*2/3. I tried a lot of math to get an equivalent for the above. I got 8*5/3 and 16*1/3, which lilypond didn't like.
What's the best way to work this?
