I think you've nailed it Richard. I was using 2.2 -- the Ubuntu Denemo packages. When I couldn't solve the issue myself, I thought it could be a bug in 2.2 so I downloaded 2.3 from Andreas.
I then opened both scores I created in 2.2 -- one with the margins left alone and the other with the margins changed -- to see if it replicated. I sent those files to the list. Upon reading your reply, I started a new score in 2.3 and I see that it works. It looks like this problem is solved.
