The second (much better) way is to select the tuplet tool, click the
first note, set the tuplet up the way I want it, and hit OK. I click
next on the first note of the NEXT group, and the tuplet I had set up
is now the default, and I only have to hit Return to apply it. Repeat
until carpal tunnel syndrome sets in as it still amounts to a hundred
or so click-returns for Charles Small.

Here's another (IMO) faster and slightly better way of achieving this. You can program metatools for tuplets. Select the tuplet tool and then hold down Shift + 3 (or shift plus whatever key you want). The tuplet dialog box comes up. Set it to 3 16ths in the time of 2, and any other settings you need. Then when you hold down 3 and click on the first of any group, it will turn it into 16th triplets, EVEN if you have an 8th followed by a 16th.

Very nice! But what would be better is the ability to change note values by factors other than duple. We can only double or halve note values (or quadruple or quarter) right now. If one was able to triple and divide into three, this problem would not exist.
