problems when editing style

Editing style:
i tried to adjust a few things here to create symmetry (simularity) between different pages. I didnt succeed. Most of the adjustments made seem to have effect on only 1 system or so. Can't see what i am doing really.
I tried to adjust the lyricspositioning….. can't get it to work either. Maybe there's something i don't fully understand here, but it is quite frustrating.
