Lyrics problem
Hi, I don't use Musescore often, so might be regarded as a newbie. I am trying to modify this score (kindly uploaded by St Marys Cathedral Kuala Lumpur) and am having problems with the spacing of the four quavers in bar two over the word 'watched'. However I try it, the lyric 'watched' insists on going just under the first quaver and pushing the next quaver to the right, giving the four quavers an unbalanced look for the sopranos and tenors.
(I know there are other problems with the score which I am still working on, but would appreciate any help with this problem please.)
Thanks in advance.

This is a shortcoming of MuseScore, it spaces notes so that each lyrics syllable fits under a single note, even if there would be enough space under the next note.
Workaround: manually tweak the chords' horizontal offset, see attached

Fantastic, thanks. I almost followed what you had done, enough to make mine look reasonable.
