I’m not at a computer with a LilyPond installation right now, but don’t ties go after the duration rather than before?  Try switching the fourth note to g4~ rather than g~4 and see if that fixes it.

Subject: Tuplets and polyphonic cause single tuplet misalign and an extra note appearing when a tie was requested

I am new to Lilypond so there is some chance I am using it incorrectly.

The time signature is 3/2. The first measure rhythmically is a c, d, g. The c d and g are a 3/2 8th note tuplet and the g is supposed to be tied through the end of the measure as well as the next. In the 3rd measure a 3/2 8th not tulet arpeggio plays.

\version "2.26.0"
\transpose c c' {
  \time 2/4
  % The fis2 on the 2nd measure wont tie and the first measure shows 3 fis
  << { \tuplet 3/2 {c8 d g~} g~4 g2 } \\ { s2 r4 \tuplet 3/2 {c8 d e} } >>
  % For some reason the last a will fall outside of the measure
  \tuplet 3/2 {c8 e g} \tuplet 3/2 {c' g e}
  c2
}
% I am aware the time signature seems like an odd choice it makes sense in context but this is the minimum to reproduce the issue

See attached PDF or this image for the generation.

The problem is first that the tie between the 1/3 of the tuple and a quarter note then a half note ends up making a mystery extra 1/8th note and does not tie with the next measure.

Then the two tuple arpeggios somehow end up needing more than one measure to complete

Any ideas?
