Triplet bracket placement

What sets the baseline for the placement of the triplet bracket? When note stems go up well beyond the staff, the bracket will move up automatically, but when the notes are low, it won't go down beyond a certain point.

I assume by your question that your scenario involves notes with the stem going up. As you move the notes downward, the triplet bracket will move down with the stem tips. If you go down far enough, the stems will start getting longer, so that they comply with the standard that requires the stems to extend up to the staff center line. The triplet bracket will, therefore, always appear in the same place, above the stem tips.
