This file was created in MS 2.0.3. When you open it in the nightly, the tempo text has changed position in relation to the "Moderato" staff text.

Pretty sure this is by design, but worth looking at further. The default positions of some elements has changed such that manual adjustments applied in previous releases in order to achieve specific effects (collision avoidance, alignment) may no longer be needed or may need to be applied differently.

Eventually there might need to be a better compatibiltiy plan, but for now, I am thinking it is probably not productive to file bug reports just because something looks different than 2.0.3. When in doubt, best to discuss on the Technology Preview first. But I'm leaving this open because maybe I'm wrong and we do want to keep a tally of what might need addressing as we do add compatibility handling.

I've attached two pictures to show how the score looks in 3.0 and 2.2.1. The tempotext, Verse and even demenuendo are not in the right place, I suppose.

I f something is wrong with 2.X scores, you probably need to change placement to "Autoplacement" and verify again. 3.0 cannot fully support positioning from 2.X files.
