Leftover Element Won't Turn Blue So I Can Delete It
I have an unruly element that seems to be a leftover "3" designation from a past triplet entry. I want to delete it, but it won't turn blue and I cannot perform any operation on it. It's at the bottom right corner of Page 3 of the score, which is attached. Can someone help me get rid of this thing? Thanks.

That score is corrupt, 3.0.5 reports:
Measure 144, staff 1 incomplete. Expected: 4/4; Found: 5763/5760
Trying to fix the corruption crashed MuseScore
3.1 Beta 2 reports to 2 different measures as corrupt (trying to open the score after the crash):
Measure 146, staff 27 incomplete. Expected: 4/4; Found: 17/16
Measure 147, staff 27 incomplete. Expected: 4/4; Found: 17/16
Using 3.1 Beta 2 on your score directly doesn't show any corruption, strange...
However, that 3 in the bottom right corner of page 3 is the page number

Thank you, Jojo-Schmitz, for your comment. The element "3" at the bottom right corner of Page 3 was present in the last dozen drafts and I couldn't delete it no matter what I tried. It was in italic print and larger than the page numbers, identical to the usage in triplets. HOWEVER, when I posted my score, that mysterious figure was finally and unexplainably absent (leaving only the standard page number 3). I have no idea how that could have happened, but I'm happy although puzzled. Now, as to the corrupt measures you found in the score, could you please explain your observation about Measure 144, and the significance of the numbers 5763 and 5760? That Measure is comprised of 4 sets of eighth-note triplets, with the middle eighth note of the second triplet set itself transformed into one set of sixteenth-note triplets (a triplet within a triplet). (If it matters, I have made the "3" designation of the "little" sixteenth-note triplet set invisible, so that only the larger triplet designation for the entire set remains visible.) Finally, could the corruption you detected in Measures 146 and 147 be explained by the fact that each of those Measures contains a tremolo comprised of two quarter notes?

That stray italic 3 might have been a dragged-off-page triplet number.
In that corrupt measure 144 there it is a nested triplet, this might cause the corruption. Actually there may be no corruption after all, as 3.1 Beta and the later development builds don't report it anymore, most probably due to their better handling of tuplets.
Those corruptions in 146 and 147 were only in the score after the crash (where I added a measure and tried to copy/paste the content of the 'corrupt' measure, nothing to do with your score at all

You've gone to a lot of trouble to help me, and I appreciate it.
