By way of follow-up, FWIW to anyone else who has had this problem, I seem to have discovered a solution. I can move the mouthpiece without having the Versa slide around if I turn the instrument around and wrap my hand so that my fingers grip around the reed side of the mouthpiece instead of the side with the screw. It seems that the real problem is that, when you grip the large rise with the screw knob protruding out of it, you get very little grip on the mouthpiece itself. Turning the clarinet around and gripping across the flatter reed area gives me much more contact with the mouthpiece surface.

It isn't immediately intuitive to turn the instrument around before you take off the mouthpiece, but I should have thought of trying it sooner than I did. Maybe Rovner should include this hint in the instruction insert.
