Text / words
There is a missing function for Text / Words, for entering the entire lyrics of a song under the score (and not just under a particular note).
Also missing from the main Text / Words window in MuseScore is a function for editing the text:
1) Font
2. font size (letter size)
3. font color
4. superscript and subscript
5. manually set Lower Index Size (size) and Upper Index Size (size).
6. bold and underline and diagonal italics
7. align text to: left, right, left and right, center the text.
In addition: correct function in writing text / words: Space, Enter, numbers, keyboard characters / symbols, CapsLock, paste copied text (e.g. from LibreOffice or OpenOffice).

I agree that this could be easier.
I use a Vertical Frame after the last system, and then I place 2 or 3 text blocks within the frame by using Add > Text. It is easier to insert the text blocks from right to left, otherwise they will overlap visually. You should apply the Horizontal Offset to each text block before placing the next text block.

The menu option Format > Style > Text Styles > Lyrics odd lines / Lyrics even lines allows you to specify global Lyrics settings for the specific score:
Font, Font size, Line spacing, Follow stave size, Bold/Italic/Underline, Alignment, Colour, and Offsets.

These points are explained quite well in the Handbook:

"4. superscript and subscript"
You can apply superscript or subscript to an individual character:
- select the character
- in the Properties panel, click Show more
- click the superscript or subscript icon

TheHutch, please be kind to the OP. I asked him to post in English instead of Polish - and he did so!

He should have posted the English in the original thread. This is standard behavior in all forums. I was not unkind, just pointed him (and everyone) back to the original.

Fair point, and I should have steered the OP better.
