Thanks for the reply. I see controls for pitch and note duration but has anyone found controls for the vertical and horizontal parameters that are supposed to be in the Event inspector?
"Position items using the Event inspector
Select the item or items you want to position graphically.
1 .Enter the value for the vertical position in the Vertical Pos.: field. A value of 0 means a position exactly on the top line of the staff, in most cases. Positive values are above, negative values below it. In staff styles with more than one staff, the Staff parameter determines the staff that the Vertical Position parameter refers to.
2. Enter the value for the horizontal position in the Horizontal Pos.: field. The value determines the horizontal offset of the object's bar position. A value of 0 corresponds to the left edge of a note, at that particular position."
