Note sounds like F, and the status bar says it is F, but shows on G line
Note sounds like F, and the status bar says it is F, but shows on G line. This only happens at the 19th bar in my score. Even in the same 19th bar there's two other F notes that place correctly under the G line. I don't have key signatures set. I looked at the note in the Inspector tab. I looked at the clef. I can't see anything culprit-looking. If it was inheriting a double-flat I'd understand, but this is the first note in the bar; it should not inherit accidentals from prior bars; should it? And I don't have a double-flat anywhere, anyways.

Transposer instrument?
Toggle Concert pitch button?
Click the note in the inspector and see that the vertical offset is -.5 (1/2 a space = the line below the space where it belongs). If you select it and either change the -.5 to 0 or press the black arrows to the right it will move to where it belongs.

Ah, great! Many thanks.
BTW, unless you plan to really have trumept play this, you probably shouldnb't have used the trumpet instrument. It's fine to use the trumpet sound (via the Mixer), but by using the instrument, you've also told MuseScore to transpose the part, which you don't want if this is intended for vocals. I'd suggest before getting yourself into trouble here, go to Staff Properties / Change Instrument and change the instrument back to voice (or any other non-transposing instrument) and then use the Mixer if desired to change the playback sound.

I did exactly as you suggested. The instrument is now Voice/Tenor, and the mixer sound is Trumpet. Sounds exactly as before, but the notes on the score jumped way up to low earth orbital level, which is good; I did the experiment to try and sing it, and I can't sing even half a note. I doubt any of my friends can, either. And the original recording is also an octave below where I have it. So I was shooting for the stars; better bring it down. Thanks.
