Yes (1991).

It's reasonably flexible, just not user friendly compared to the 
instantaneous gratification of typical Midi implementations. 
Once I cottoned on to the fact that playback is both subservient 
to notation and detachable from it, things started to go 
schwimingly (not as fast as running you understand).


However:

is a great request and I think you should send it over to 
MacSupport. Since we can already type in chords and lyrics, why 
not be able to type in Expressions if that tool is selected and 
there's a checkmark on a "Type Into Score" menu item? Cursor 
changes to a pencil, click for the location, type, and press 
<Enter> when done.
