Expression Text location - dynamics

Sibelius beginners can discuss all things Sibelius here ("how do I...?").

Does anyone know how to set the vertical position of expression text? I am attempting to enter dynamice, (ctrl-E, choose target note, rght-click, select appropriate symbol.) Sibelius will then set the dynamic at a predetermined distance below the staff. The problem is that that distance is way too low - it is interfering with the lines of notation below.

Can someone tell me how to adjust that position? I know that you can manually slide them, but that would make it extremely difficult to maintain the same distance for every one of them! :cry:

The position of any text style is available for editing in House Styles > Default Positions. You can choose to set Text positions, Lines or other objects. There is a drop-down list of all text styles, including user-defined ones. You can set the distance above or below the stave.
