I am working on a piece in 4/4 time and would like to have triplets on the
upbeat of "4".  How can I indicate that the three notes should come on the
2nd half of the beat?

have a look at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.15/Documentation/notation-big-page#upbeats and
re-ask if this is not clear

Is there any reason to prefer

\set Timing.measurePosition = #(ly:make-moment -1 4)

as indicated in the documentation above, instead of using

\set Score.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 1 4)

I prefer using Score.measureLength, which seems more intuitive (i.e. I'm setting this measure to be one beat long).
