musescore 3 does not position lyrics right if Music was written in Musescore 2.
I have a link to my Musescore piece which I wrote in Musescore 2. When the piece opens, it does not provide an option to open it in Musescore 2 and instead Musescore 3 comes up and asks if I want to format it to fit. I say "yes", but still the lyrics come up shifted so they overlap the music. Is there a fix for that? Can I opt to open up my music in Musescore 2?

MuseScore 2 should still be on the computer if you didn't delete it. Open version 2 and open the score from within version 2 using File->Open.

Do you find the sound of the music playback is different with Musescore 3. I think I hear less reverb or something more mechanical.

There is an option to search the web and an option to look on your computer, look on your computer since it's likely still there.
In general, MuseScore 3 will have much better 8default* formatting than 2, but if you did a lot of manual adjustments, those won't necessarily make sense, so the two choices of resetting the manual adjustments or attempting to apply them to to the improved defaults are often equally unsatisfactory. 3.1 should do a better job of mimicing any manual formatting applied in MuseScore 2 than 3.0.5 did. If you continue to have problems using 3.1, I would encourage you to attach your score so we can understand and assist better.
