First tempo marking doesn't align with coinciding time signature
1. Open attached score (produced in 1.3).
Expected result: The tempo marking aligns with the time signature.
Actual result: The tempo marking aligns with the first note.
Note: It is also reproducible with a 2.0 score. Page 183 of 'Behind Bars' states: "When a tempo marking coincides with a time signture indication, align the tempo with the left edge of the time signature."

(Thanks to Marc Sabatella for letting me know.)
It's kind of tricky in that MuseScore generally requires you to attach markings to notes, and usually that *does* mean the marking appears directly over the note. The idea of special casing "tempo markings over notes that immediately follow time signatures" doesn't thrill me, but that *is* the right behavior. An alternative is to allow tempo markings to be attached directly to the time signature, but I suspect few people would think to even try that.
Meanwhile, I usually either move the tmepo marking to the left manually or else don't worry about it.
There is an item in the Master Palette, but for most situations, tempo markings are generated via the menu, or shortcut.
Can it not just position itself automatically to the time signature when attached to the note?
If you change something (e.g. the time signature becomes removed), the tempo text could adjust accordingly?
It's possible of course. Just requires special casing in the code, since normally any text element is placed relative to the note it is attached to. For tempo texts attached to tick 0 in a measure, we'd check to see if the previous segment was a time signature and lay it out relative to that instead.
This was fixed some time ago.
