double triplet?
Follow the steps of the attachment.
Then (with x) Flip the group, from the Beam Properties palette select beam middle or simply enter a septuplet

(I hope it is not one of my usual blunders)

It's a triplet inside a triplet, I tried it in ms2.0, and it works fine, just enter the first half of the bar nomal, and with the last quarter rest selected pres 5 {ctrl 3} together to make a triplet, enter the g sharp and the a, then you have an 8th rest left, with that selected you pres 4 {ctrl 3} togrther to make an other triplet then just enter the last 3 notes

Are you sure its nested triplets? It's not really obvious to me from the notation that that's what it is supposed to be and it seems like it would be horrendously complicated to play. Can you find any other examples of this notation?

No, it's not nested triplets. They are notated differently. Here's two measures for comparison, the first with a nested triplet, the second one as I think it should have been notated (sixteenths instead of eighths) as I showed earlier.

Note how I said the beginning of the triplet lines up with the fourth bass note. The triple-in-triple doesn't do that. And given that the "3" is only over the final set of three sixteenths, that is the only triple. This is a simple engraving error.

Your posted image - a convincing side by side comparison - nails it shut for me: engraving error.
Also, regarding a nested triplet, as shoogle remarked : '... and it seems like it would be horrendously complicated to play.'
Indeed, all this complication for one beat of a two beat measure. (I also wonder at what tempo....)

Regards.
