augmentation dot too far away

[Daniel Fortune]

Greetings,

I'm working on a hymn where the soprano has a dotted quarter note on 
treble F, and the alto has a half note a step below on E-flat. The 
augmentation dot of the F is showing up following the E-flat instead of  
the F--making the E-flat look like a dotted half note. (I'm not sure, 
but it may be that the E-flat should really appear before the F in this 
instance--I don't have any of my music notation bibles on hand ...)

Perhaps I'm missing something, but I've searched the manual and archives 
and didn't see an analogous situation that might help me. Could someone 
offer a suggestion or workaround?

I'm using version 2.10.0 on Win XP.

Thanks,

Dan Fortune
