Hi Dave,

As Phil already mentioned, it'd be easier if there was a time signature.
3/4 ? 6/8 ? 3/8 ??
As far as I understood your message I'd do:

\version "2.18.2"

{
  \time 6/8
  \set Timing.beatStructure = #'(1 1 1 1 1 1)
  r2.
  \tuplet 3/2 8 { bes,16 ( c d ees f g a bes c d ees e f g a bes f d ) }
  %% or:
  % \tuplet 3/2 { bes,16 ( c d ees f g a bes c d ees e f g a bes f d ) }
}

HTH,
Pierre
