Pedal markings that move around on their own
I'm having the odd experience of pedal markings that have moved around on their own each time I open the score. I drag them back to where they're supposed to be but the next day they've moved again. If they've moved over to the previous page it's like they're not even there because they can't be grabbed to drag back, or delete, or make invisible, or anything. When I put the cursor on them all I get is the 4 pointed arrow like when you click on an empty spot on the score to drag it around. Anybody know what's going on and especially how to get those markings dragged back that have moved to a previous page?

Try to right-click on one of them;
Select all similar items;
Ctrl+R.
They have been entered correctly?
(eg .: clicking on the first note;
Hold down Shift and use the right arrow to select the interval;
Double-click on the symbol in the palette)
Could you attach the score here?

See Piano II of the attached score. The pedal markings for measures 111-115 have all moved out of place. The one that is in the margin of page 7 can't be dragged back. The pedal marking that starts at the bottom of page 5 and crosses over to the bottom of page 6 should be way over at the bottom of page 7 starting at the second half of measure 136 and ending at measure 139 but can't be dragged back over there. The pedal marking starting at measure 135 really starts at measure 132 and shouldn't extend into the margin to get to measure 136.

Check it. I selected all the same symbols and use Ctrl+R;
Saved, closed, reopened. They not moved (here and now) but there is something strange in them, all seem anchored to the previous measures. Let us know

I can't download your attachment because of a previous problem I posted here about my computer wanting to put all MS downloads into Version 1.3 and of course I get an error message stating that it's too old. I've deleted/uninstalled Version 1.3 by way of the Control Panel, but it's apparently still hiding somewhere. However, i tried the Select All Similar Elements then Ctrl+R and everything went back into place. Thank you.

Download the file;
Right-click-> open with
or
start MuseScore 2x and drag on the program window.

The only options I have when I right click on the downloaded file are:
1. Open
2. Always open files of this type
3. Show in folder
There is no "Open with" or "Save".
If I click on "Open" it tries to open it in Version 1.3 and crashes.

Which operating system (OS) and which version of the OS do you use (Windows 7, Windows 10, Mac, Chrome OS, Ubuntu, ...) to give more precise answers for solving this behavior?
In reply to Which operating system (OS) by kuwitt
Windows 10
In reply to Windows 10 by hmscomp
I don't have installed Windows 10 on my system, but try the following:
- open settings
- select system
- select default apps
- choose default application by file type
- go on the left side of the window to the file type ".mscz" (I hope this is there ;) and choose on the right side Musescore 2.x (or similar)
I hope that works.

Concerning the problem to open the file:
You should also be able to open the file if you save the file, open MuseScore, then open the file in the menu File->open.
I suggest to solve this you've to change the file association on your OS.
Not sure which OS you're using, for Windows 10 something like this could be helpful for example:

Thank you so much, I am searching for piano pedalling at my school and I want to write in my researches about your teachings and talks

If you find the problem persists, please attach the score you are having trouble with and precise steps to reproduce the problem. There have been a couple of other reports of specific scores where markings move around on their own and I think we partially understand the issue, but seeing another case could still help.

Ciao Marc, the score is just above: https://musescore.org/en/node/141531#comment-601786
In reply to Ciao Marc, the score is just by Shoichi
Yes, I see that score, but that is the score *after* the problem has already occurred, so we can't actually see anything move. We'd need to see a score in the state *before* the problem occurs, and then see precise steps to reproduce the problem from there.
The similar problems we have already seen and at least partially understand are related to cases where the layout of the measures themselves also changes - so that before saving, a given measure is on one system, but on save and reload, the measure moves to another system. The issue with pedals is kind of by-product of that more fundamental issue. Hard to say if that is also the case here or not.

So far the Select All Similar Elements then Ctrl+R solution in holding.
