Reset Shapes and Positions won't work.
Reset Shapes and Positions won't work for some cases. In older good Musescore 2, I was able to set the heights between staves by using mouse easily. Now it became automatic but it won't work some times. I attach a problematic case below (crossing slurs). Automatic positining is good at positining texti though. Is there a way to make automatic position/shapes an optional feature, preferably in a manner such that the user can easily switch between manual and automatic positioning?

It is in the inspector!

Thank you very much, Sunny2019. I must have missed that. Now I was able to disable autoplace. However, I still cannot adjust the distance between staves by dragging as I could in Musescore 2.

Correct, that is not possible by dragging in MS3. You can however still set that same "distance above staff" setting in the staff properties.

Thank you jeetee. I think mouse dragging was much handier. I hope, they put that feature back in.

It is removed because it's almost always the wrong thing to do now. Dragging affected the entire score but only for this staves. That's very rare, normally you'd do that only once per score, to separate the strings from the rest of an orchestra or whatever. The things that are more common are to want all staff distances changed, in which case it remains a style setting as always, or to adjust staff distance for one system only, in which case you use spacers as always.
It's not clear from just a picture how you got into this situation - MuseScore should have adjusted the staff distance automatically. Attaching the actual score would help us understand and assist better. As I mentioned elsewhere, spacers are how you should have solved problems like this in MuseScore 2, but this problem shouldn't have occurred here at all.

Thanks for comments, Marc. Version 3 autopos works like a charm for text etc. I was also suprised how the slurs got crossed in autopos mode. Here is the original score.
I wasn't aware of the spacers. They are great!

AH, I see, you're in continuous view. The code that automatically increases staff spacing is disabled there because it would slow things down too much. But switch to page view - or print the score or export it to PDF, which is always done in page view - and all is well. In general, all formatting should be done there, because many things will be different in continuous view compared to page view (relative widths of measures, alignment of lyrics and voltas , etc). So adjustments made in continuous view won't necessarily look right in page view. This was even more true in MuseScore 2.

Thank you Marc. I get it. By the way, how did you understand I used the continuous vew? It is not part of the format as far as I know since I need the change the view every time I open the file.

MuseScore remembers which view you are in, it is saved as part of the score. When I opened the file you attached, it was in continuous view.

So it is actually part mscz format. Thank you again!
