You have had several replies to this that all interpreted your question
differently from the way I did.  The other replies interpreted this to
ask "how can I have a partial half a beat at the beginning of my
score?"  If that is your question, then you have an answer and should
stop reading this.

I interpreted it as a more basic question: "how can I notate triplets
that consume half a quarter note?"  The answer to THAT is to use 16th notes:
   \times 2/3 { c16 d16 e16 }
