Simplifying Complex Measures

I am working on a choral piece in which the piano part isn't very complex but appears so, as I am writing in 12/8 time and using triplets in the space of dotted quarters. Is there a way to make the piano part look simpler and not take up as much space on the page? I've attached a picture so that you can see what I mean.

That doesn't actually look particularly complicated to me. You could hide the triplet numbers (select, press "V") after the first few if you want. Should probably fix the beaming on the third beat too to match the others, or maybe change all of them to just be a continuous beam for each beat. You could also write them as 9-tuplets, but that to me is not an improvement. But again, I personally think it's fine as is, except for the inconsistent beam.
