I haven't ever seen, or heard of, triplets going over a bar line (except when I got Lilypond to do it on my school assignment by mistake). The bracket over the barline isn't correct, and I don't think many people would easily understand a corrected form of the triplet placed over the barline. Changing time signatures is probably what should be done if you are writing music and it has gotten to that point. In the meantime, is this intentional or a bug (and does anyone have examples of it in music)?
