You have to click on the notehead for articulations, even if they are going to appear way outside the note. > 2.

Rather than programming a different set of metatools, perhaps a workflow similar to this would work for you: 1. Enter the fingerings artics first 2. Drag-enclose all the fingerings and nudge them upwards with the arrow up key (to provide the extra space) 3. Enter the rest of the artics There is a "inside slurs" setting for articlations that will lift the slur (useful for staccati for example).
