Chord symbol placement
On a piano part I, I have chords in the left hand that change every couple beats... often on the +, "and" of a beat, while in the right hand it is a half note or whole note. I want the chord symbols to align with the chords in the left hand... How can I achieve that?... I know I can place the chords above the chord in the left hand... bass clef, but I want the symbols to show above the treble clef.
Thank you,

Add notes in the right hand staff where you want the chord names to appear. Make the notes not play and not be visible by clicking the appropriate check boxes in the inspector. Attach your chords to these notes.

Seems way to complicated, see above

The OP wants to know how to place chord names in off-beat positions (to align with the left hand notes) but the staff only contains whole notes, or half notes. How do you do that except as I propose above?

No need of invisible notes, MuseScore let you attach chords to any "beat" or "sub-beat" actually.
And in the simple case described by the OP the main shortcut to remember is just

; moves 1 beat, if you need to move a half beat (for the and) use ctrl+4 to move an 8th note.

Ah! Much better! "sub-beat" is what I missed.
