the verse position has big problem due to take more and more lyrinc space

There is no arbitrary limitation on number of verses in MuseScore; I have no trouble creating 30 verses in a score I create myself. So something must be specific to this file, but I don't understand the problem. You picture does not appear to show that many verses at all. I see only a single verse of lyrics, then two more "verses" or "lyrics" that don't appear to be lyrics at all but rather numbers and dots entered as if they were lyrics then moved above the staff. MuseScore does display these, but as with most manual position in MusicXML, this sort of customization is not preserved. better to enter those markings using a more appropriate type of masrking - the Finale equivalent of staff text, perhaps. But in anyhow, I don't see 17 of *anything* here. Can you explain in more detail? Perhaps attach a small file (delete all but the relevant measures) and show a picture from Finale of exactly where those 17 verses are?

I think the verses referred to here are not underneath each other but sequentially numbered sections of music. The problem appears to be the use of lyrics to enter actual lyrics plus fingering plus additional marks (dots). It is difficult to do it this way, of course, and I suspect it does not transfer well from Finale with the Dolt plugin to MusicXML and thence to MuseScore.

The file is also way too big in my opinion so that it is increasingly difficult not to mess it all up when changing formatting.

Because the big file is created and combined by 10 different files in finale due to too large. So every file have 4 verse, and the finale combined in 40 verse, but every measure can only see 4 verse. The layout gone and the verse lower and lower more than 17 verse disappear in my musescore.
