Sure Joel, Go into the editing dialog for the articulation in question (I use Engraver font for this particular one - you can specify the font in that dialog box, and Engraver looks much better than Maestro to my eye for this shape) and you'll find a place to specify the placement; above note, below note, stem side, note side..... To get to that dialog, double click on the articulation's handle. The problem is, that when this shape is above a note with an up stem , people who do it by hand place it so that it straddles the stem (where it looks right). This requires a displacement to the right of a few evpus. There is probably a way to copy the articulation, set its placement over and then assign it to another macro key. It can be made to work the way you want with a little time and effort. Then you can save it to a library or to a template and it's always there.
