Hi there

Typing 5, [return], 3 usually works for me.

If you need the altered numbers (with accidentals), they are available on the keyboard. The flats are on the bottom row starting at x; sharps on the middle row, and naturals on the top row.

Each is available in two guises: e.g. n gives 6[flat] and shift-n gives [flat]6.

Others are scattered around the keyboard: e.g. z gives 3+.

Hope that helps

FYI, for those notating Roman numeral chords from within Create>Text>Other Staff Text>Roman numerals, you create stacked numbers after the numeral by entering the first digit then holding shift while entering the second digit.
