You have to attach your expression to the following system and drag it up since slurs draw after expressions.

If your text items are expressions try enclosing them, making the background opaque, putting them in the position you want and then setting the frame to zero width. I set up quite a complicated masking of the lower part at the beginning of a two-staff section in a string part using opaque shapes, just blank rectangles with no text, as recommended by someone on this list (sorry I can't remember who to give them the credit!). However, I've just tried creating a text expression and superimposing it first on a crescendo hairpin, which worked, and then on a slur which didn't! Very mysterious. I'm using FinWin 2000c.
