How do I create Nested Triplets

Selecting triplets and selecting triplets for each third of that triplet doesn't seem to produce the correct results.
How can I do this?
Thanks,

It does work for me
Thanks for your response.
[Forgive me, originally I was going to go through an elaborate explanation (which explains the typo in the subject line) but then decided on doing things this way - it's kind of a long story.]
Anyway, now that you have nested triplets try to cut and paste them into another measure; it won't work. Please verify.
This is why I was thinking there might be another method. For example, nested triplets on a whole note is actually nine notes in the space of the whole note. Which would be N, 7, Ctrl + 9. But what is the normal notation in these circumstances.
Also, can you see any problem using this alternate method?
I would rather see a ninetuplet than nested triplets, personally.
Ok.
Thx.
I'd definitely agree. The timing will always be "an n-tuplet," and it's a lot easier to visually parse "the number nine" than to look upon a complicated two-tiered arrangement of lines and to do multiplication on-the-fly while you're trying to play what is obviously a complicated passage. Also, it will visually take up a consistent amount of vertical space on the page. (Musical notation has an unlimited length to work with, but a very limited height.)
Thanks for your input, I appreciate it.
