Has anyone figured out a way to change the "3" part of an 8th note triplet so it's above the beam, not below the note heads?

No. And in fact, I'm having a heck of a time with the triplets. Sometimes the bracket shows, sometimes it doesn't. I've been playing with the "automatic" and the "always show" settings, but I'm still not getting consistent behavior. It may be user error, but again, I wish there was better documentation.

Yeah, it would be nice to change the default of the triplet maker that resides in the note creation menu.... Quarter note triplets seem to bracket naturally while eighth note triplets will not bracket if the figure contains only notes, that is unless one creates a non-triplet passage and then selects that passage, creating a custom tuplet and choosing "always show." That works for me, anyway.

No way to change the position of the triplet number and bracket.

The bracket is automatic by default: it shows when the notes have no beams, or when the beam is broken because of one of the notes being a pause. However, it ALWAYS shows when a custom tuplet with 'always show bracket' is added.

I would also like I could change the tuplet position. See thread about this here http://forum.notionmusic.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=3125
