Sorry Kieren, Now that I looked through your example more closely and understood what it does, I realized that it does the same as my \scaleDurations solution.
So it still produces six prolonged triplets (i.e. six eights over the duration of three quarters) instead of nine triplets. So there is still no - musically correct - solution at hand. The problem with the tremolo is that in fact the two notes have to be repeated 4 1/2 times. As I basically only need to produce printed output, I can use the solution for now, but I would still like to know if my problem can be solved with LilyPond (I somewhat dislike workarounds that depend on faulty music).
