Thank you everyone for your help and suggestions. Robert's suggestion re beaming over the grace notes indeed works! Me bad - was missing the additional click on the grace note itself.
However, slashed dotted quarters as triplets are just not worth the time and effort. So, endless repeated triplets they will become. The "old-fashioned" shorthand way of marking them was actually cleaner and easier to read in both score and parts. Oh, well... Shouldn't there be an "I - know- what - I - am - doing, so - do - not - interfere" mode of input as well?
