Words and Music
I was looking at sheets like this , and at the right-corner, it credits both the words and musician, as opposed to separating them left/right respectively - which MuseScore suggests.
In MuseScore, should it perhaps rename 'Composer' and 'Lyricist' to something more balanced?

I find the convention of listing the lyricist at the left is rarely used any more. I think it was more common for hymns or classical pieces to which lyrics were added later than for modern pop songs, although I have seen in in sheet music from the 1930's as well.

I think it should be retained from a historical point of view.
Most of the sheet music of the standards from the 20's, 30's and 40's presents lyricist and composer this way.
It is a simple matter to knock up a template if you want something else :)
