I have no idea what you tried, but the below works as expected for me.
\version "2.24.1" \language "english" global = { \key e \minor \time 6/8 } melody = \relative c' { \global \tuplet 3/2 8 { e16 [ g e ] g [ e g ] a [ e a ] b [ d b ] c [ g c ] b g b} | \tuplet 3/2 8 { e16 g e g e g a e a b d b c g c b g b} | } \score { << \new Staff \melody \new Staff \with { beamExceptions = \beamExceptions { \tuplet 3/2 { 16 [ 16 16 ] 16 [ 16 16 ] 16 [ 16 16 ] 16 [ 16 16 ] 16 [ 16 16 ] 16 [ 16 16 ] } } } \melody >> }
