Downloaded file has wrong measures on the line
I am using
OS: Windows 10 (10.0), Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.6.2.548021803, revision: 3224f34
I downloaded "cats in the cradle" https://musescore.com/user/33848784/scores/6803455
When I opened it, the lyrics and measures didn't line up. (Screenshot attached)
How do I fix this?
TIA

Does that mean that the person who made the file didn't do it correctly?
Is there an automatic way to change it or do I need to redo it a syllable at a type?

In addition, online there are 4 measures to a line, the downloaded file has 3. I don't see the carriage return symbol.
How do I put it back to 4 on a line? Attached screenshot of how it looks online.

I appreciate that. Thanks.
Disregard the last comment. i looked again and some lines are 3 measures some lines are 4.
Same issue for the chord symbols BTW, these too had been entered as staff text rather than as chord symbols.
Or maybe it is notennames? Most probably is. Just use the notenames pugin for those

Oh wow, I didn't even know that note name plug-in existed.
Thanks!
