How to organize the "Text" at the same spot at each measure?
From the Text section, there is a B1 inside the square, I usually use this for putting "Intro, Verse and Chorus" ect...
But I realize they are not at the same spot at different lines, some of them are more at the left, some are more at the right. So I wonder if there is a way I can organize them at the same spot? Then the chart will look much better.
Plz let me know, thanks!

These are rehearsal marks.
Their positions refer to a single note and they are center-aligned by default. In the Inspector or Properties, you can set them left- or right-aligned.
That is, if you have one mark on beat 1 and the other on beat 3, they are horizontally offset.
Also the y-offset depends on the pitch of the referenced note, but this can easily be changed by selecting all of them and setting a new y-offset until it fits.

Thanks man
Here is the screen shot, so as you can see the Intro, Verse and Chorus are not at the same spot at the begining of the messure

Much must be done manually. And even more boring, must be done manually for every part (see this discussion here).
Some have used a plugin, that you adapt to your own needs to automate some of those adjustments.
A few feature requests were proposed to help in that layout process. Feel free to comment those feature requests on GitHub if you feel that the current propositions could be improved.
The purpose of those requests is to avoid having to move everything manually (or at least reducing it) and hence getting in situations where the texts are not well aligned, or must repositioned ever-and-ever.
These rehearsal marks are usuallly centered above a bar line. You can, for example, line all up with right click on one, -> select / select similiar, and in properties (F8) you can left align all under "text".

Not necessarily.
If you place them in an empty measure, then yes. Otherwise, they refer to a single note.

Correct

It is even more complicated:
- If you place it on the first note in the measure, then it will be aligned with the bar line.
- If you place it on a note other than the first, it will be placed above that note.
- If there is a time signature, then it will offset to the right.
