I may have to publish one of those some time and charge a bazillion dollars for it
Seriously, there are a LOT of those types of maneuvers that aren't documented, but can be done by "following the logic" of the program.
For example, I honestly had not ever thought about a situation like yours specifically. But I do know that you can have different voices for notes, and that for split voices the markings such as triplets will be assigned based on the stem direction. For the snippet that you posted, the top staff has 2 of the 3 stems pointing up (like upper voice), so the triplet marking is on top. The alto staff has all three stems pointing down (like a lower voice) so the triplet marking is below the notes. By manually setting the notes in the soprano line to lower voice (and conveniently hiding the resulting upper voice rest) you can make Composer put the triplet below the notes so as not to interfere with the slur. I tried it, and it worked, so then I told you about it
ttfn,
Sherry
