Musescore 3.6 - Default Style Settings from 3.5 are not carried over into 3.6 (especailly in band parts)

When scores from 3.5 are loaded into 3.6, and the style settings are not the same as they were in the previous version. I assume this is because they change to 3.6 defaults instead of staying with 3.5 defaults (such as with the bar numbers being italicized) - but there are some exceptions - e.g lyricist text changes to 10pt (default) instead of 12pt (which I modified) but only in parts and not the score.

Known Issues -

  • Bar Numbers are changed to italics
  • Header Text is changed to bold
  • Footer Text is slightly larger
  • Composer, Lyricist, Style and Part Name text sizes default to 3.6 sizes (in parts?)

In terms of defaults, I want to be able to create the exact same "look" as my previous 3.5 project, with the text font and other modifications I made, not the "default musescore 3.5" look. Any ideas if this is possible? I'd go back to my projects and export the .mss file from them if I could, but I've updated to 3.6, so I wouldn't be able to do that without some things changing to the 3.6 defaults (like bold headers etc.)
