Enter a triplet, copy/paste it, and use the repitch tool to alter the notes.

You can give a staff an independent time signature to obtain simultaneous 4/4 and 12/8. You can make the 12/8 display as 4/4 if you like, but I wouldn't.

As far as writing triplets in succession automatically, both Simple and Speedy have a way of doing sticky triplets.
