I have seen triplets written with slurs but also without and sometimes with

As a fiddler, I would prefer to keep the syntax as it is in abc2ps, because
grouping symbols catch the eye, as you said, but they catch my right arm

For example, bowings like [K:D][M:4/4][L:1/8] (3ab(c|d) are not unfrequent
in Irish music.
