Positioning Measure Numbers
I cannot get measure numbers to stay where I want them.
I'm using MuseScore 1.0 on Mac OS X, 10.5.8.
The problem: At least in this score, MuseScore puts the measure numbers where they are illegible and useless (see "Picture 2" attached). I right-click on the first measure number and choose "text properties" from the resulting box. I change Offset: X Y from 0.00sp and 4.00sp to 3.00sp and -2.00sp respectively, "apply to all elements of same type", OK. This gives me what I want (see "Picture 6" attached). I save, close, and quit MuseScore. I re-open MuseScore and re-open the file. The measure numbers have reverted to their original bad position (see "Picture 2" attached).

See my reply in your other thread. It can be done, but you *do* need to use Text Style (and then close/repoen your score).
But I should note that the picture you show here is not what I was seeing when I said I like the defaults. Mine display just above the left edge of the staff; just to the left of the top loop of the treble clef when using that clef. Style->Edit Text Edit Style->Measure Numbers reports X & Y both 0, horizontal and vertical alignment centered. This is what I get for new scores created from scratch, and as far as I know there is no way to customize the defaults for "from scratch" scores, so I have been assuming that this really is the MuseScore default, but maybe somehow I really did customize the defaults.
