Musescore 4.0 Lyric Spacing

1. I find the lyric spacing in Musescore 4.0 greatly improved. I'm going back through my old scores and updating them to Musescore 4.0 because I am able to remove most or all of the custom lyric placements I had to add in Musescore 3. Well done!

2. The improved note spacing algorithm is very lovely, and accounts for the bulk of the custom lyric placements I can now remove. However, some algorithm has now created an issue with lyrics where a syllable in one verse is now not allowed to overlap or "tuck under" syllables in other verses. They appear to be constrained by the Lyric Text Minimum Distance setting even when there would be no collision between syllables on the same verse/line.

For example, in the attached score (The Twelve Days of Christmas), the "-enth" syllables in measure 33 and the "-en" syllables in measure 34 are not allowed to be moved closer to their respective preceding syllables because Musescore 4.0 is apparently is deciding they would violate the minimum lyric distance between them and the words/lyrics "twelfth" and "twelve" respectively even though those lyrics are in a different verse.

Update: I was able to get the lyrics in measure 33 to "tuck under" by unchecking "Auto-place" for that note, but it also then messed up the vertical alignment slightly for those syllables. The same hack didn't really work for measure 34.

3. Similarly, it would be nice to have the option to let longer syllables that are at the beginning of a measure and that are center- or right-justified/aligned intrude into the previous measure's space so long as (1) it is not the first measure in a system, (2) bar lines are not set to span to the next staff, and (3) there is no collision with preceding syllables in previous measure in the same verse/line (that is, the Lyric Text Minimum Distance setting is observed as if there were no bar line).

More specifically, the note (and any accompanying accidentals, etc.) should be spaced from the left edge of the bar line as if there were no lyrics present. If there are lyrics whose length would collide with where the bar line would be, they would be allowed to intrude into the previous measure as stipulated above. If the lyric(s) also would collide with the lyric on the same verse/line in the previous measure, the width of the previous measure would get lengthened until the Lyric Text Minimum Distance setting is achieved. This generally appears to be what is happening in most hymnbooks that I've seen that have given the issue some attention.

While this can still be worked around by manually adjusting the Leading space for the note and other settings, it would be nice and less tedious to have this done automatically.

For example, in the attached score (With Wondering Awe), it would be nice if the syllable stack that contains "Strang-" in verse 2 of measure 9 could intrude into the previous measure automatically so that no manual adjustments needed to be made. (Measures 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8 also could benefit from this, but they are less egregious examples.)
