Metronome marks

[Matthias Loitsch]

Hi!

I'm new to this list, and quite new to lilypond too.

I'm trying to change the tempo in a song, and I can't find how to do so...

What I want to do, is not a normal metronome tempo change, but I want a 
triplet to become a quarter note.

I found how to set the tempo with a metronome marking (\tempo 4=120), and I 
found the syntax to display an eigth note becoming a quarter note:
\markup {
       (
       \smaller \general-align #Y #DOWN \note #"8" #1
       =
       \smaller \general-align #Y #DOWN \note #"4" #1
       ) }


But how can I use this with a triplet? I tried \note #"12" and \note #"4/3" 
but they both don't work...

Is there a way to get a triplet with \note ? Or do I need a completely 
different approach?



Thank you in advance,
Matthias
