Lyrics will not align vertically
Attached is a photo of the issue - the lyrics will not all stay on the same y-axis plane. Sometimes it is a measure at a time, sometimes, just one syllable is out of line. This is with "automatic placement" selected. I would hate to have to adjust each bit by hand, as it happens frequently. Can anyone offer help?

Looks like maybe you accidentally entered some of the lyrics in a lower verse. Right-click on one of the lyrics, choose "Select -> All similar elements", then change the verse number in the Inspector to 1. If that doesn't help, attach your score so we can take a closer look.

In your style settings, you had "Vertical alignment range" set to "Measure". Changing it to "System" fixes this.

I occasionally encounter this lyric alignment problem and don't know what causes it.
Where does one find the "Vertical alignment range" Property? I don't see it in the Inspector, Style>Lyrics nor in Style>Text Styles ...

It's in the Score tab of the Style settings, since it isn't specific to lyrics. You might have to scroll down to see it at the very bottom.

Thanks! I never would have thought to look there.
