1/ to Choral SATB & Org layout; - add a (Descant) stave to top of system...

2/ Apply notation as desired, then apply lyrics...

3/ Please observe the issue in bar #10. To detail what is happening is prolematic to explain in writing
but correct spacing of the SATB & Org notation is overuled by the lyric content of the additional stave?

How else should it fit the multiple notes and their lyrics into the top staff but by stretching out the other staves?
Same thing happens in the next measure, only there it is the top staff that get strechet out because of the bottom staves having more notes and lyrics

Jojo; - thank you for your comment; -
It is the 2nd crotchet in the A, T & Org (treble stave) which is mis-aligned....
Select b#10 "D" and delete contents - you will observe the A, T & Org then reposition correctly...
Notation should surely ALWAYS remain true to individual beat position per bar? - the bar resizing as may be appropriate to rhythm...
Such alignment appears altered detrimentally when the D bar is re-populated.
Cheers, John

You mean this, right?

It tries to make space for the 2 8th notes and their lyrics in descant, see what happens if those get replaced by a single quarter:

which not only lost that 2nd 8th. but also its rather long lyrics "thanks"
