Header / Footer fields do not align vertically by baseline, therefore look mis-aligned
The left-middle-right sections of Header and Footer do not align vertically properly. They should align on the baseline, but instead, they vertically align based on the character height.
For example, a footer section that includes the word "Copyright", is vertically aligned based on the bottom of the characters that fall below baseline, ie p,y, or g. A header section that includes the word "Copyright" would be vertically aligned based on the capital "C". See examples.
Most of the documentation products I use align header/footer sections by the baseline, such as Apple Pages and Numbers (see examples).
This misalignment makes it awkward for me with my copyright notices, because I want other information in the footer as well as the notice itself.
I'm using Musescore 4.2.1 on Mac Mini M1.

Might be good to report this on GitHub

Hi, JoJo
How do I report this on GitHub?
I see that it has already been reported to GitHub, but that there are no plans to work on it ... I see a comment about not enough people have reported it? Please add me.
In spite of duplicating effort, I'll be happy to post it in GitHub if I can.
The thing is ... I've been working with Musescore Studio since 2.0. Three years ago I started a notation project that is finally in the "engraving" stage, where the notes are done, but things like headers and footers matter.
And, the UI changes for Musescore 4 have shown me possibilities that I didn't know existed in 3.x, so my expectations are rising.
What can I do to help?
Thanks
Janet

No need to report again, I just forgot that I already reported it.
