Formatting a Score

• Aug 1, 2014 - 06:21

I'm using Musescore 1.3. Computer OS is WINDOWS XP/SP3.

I have created the score, but while formatting, it is going awry. Sometimes one measure gets overlaid on the previous measure along with the notes and lyrics. The right margins are not correct. If you look at the first system it has extended beyond the margin. It is not aligned properly to the right. Kindly guide me as to how to correct this.

Another feature I would like to know from you is .... while entering lyrics how do I number them as verse 1, verse 2 etc.?

Create/Text, I transferred:
"Franciscus ..." as composer;
"National ..." as Lyricist;
"Promptuarii ..." as subtitle.

Style / Edit General Style:
MuseScore: Edit Style / System> uncheck "Fix Bar Width"

I selected the first syllable of the lyrics, then Select / All Similar Elements;
Ctrl + R to bring everything back to the default position;
When all the lyrics are highlighted Ctrl and drag them with the mouse:
