Adjustment to get Musescore to jump to next page sooner during playback?
When, during playback in page view mode, I'm singing along on the rightmost page of a score whose lyrics I haven't yet mastered, Musescore waits so late to jump to the next page that I don't have time to assimilate the lyrics on the new page quickly enough to sing them in tempo. Can the lead time for the switch to the new page be adjusted by the end user?

Great idea!
here's a similar request from 2012:

There is a discussion of related matters in the now defunct MS3 Issue Tracker:
https://musescore.org/en/node/330306
There is also and official request on Github:
https://github.com/orgs/musescore/discussions/21870
But it looks like the concept hasn’t garnered advancement into any active MS4 project.

In the meantime try using continuous view?

And set the smooth panning option in Edit / Preferences / Advanced. Then the cursor stays fixed while the score scrolls.

That solves about 1/4th of the problem. Another part of what I'm doing when rehearsing like this is becoming familiar with the score: where the repeats and jumps are, what the other parts are doing ... in short, assimilating the big picture. You don't get that in continuous view.
I often serve as a page turner for my wife when she's playing a new cello part. She always wants me to turn the page much sooner than Musescore does it. In anticipation, she looks ahead to the end of the line on the current page, takes what is there into short-term memory (from which she continues playing), and then wants a second or two to get reoriented on the new page.
