@MReed Figuring out what octave the note will appear in when you type requires taking into account at least 4 or 5 considerations, and may require scrolling to a previous page in the score or somewhere else that is offscreen.
The only sane way currently to handle this is to type the note, and then use the modifier keys to move it to the octave required, unfrortunately.
I made a feature request for a simpler method here: https://forums.steinberg.net/t/note-input-defaults-to-wrong-octave-bug-pebcac-unwanted-behaviour-thats-for-sure
