Fingering text has surprising position jumps after font size change
Using 'text properties' to change fingering text (under MS 1.2) from e.g. 7 point to 8 point causes surprising jumps (half an inch or more) in the position of my carefully-placed fingering numbers. Perhaps their manually-adjusted position is calculated as a multiple of the size of the underlying text glyph? Well, whatever the reason, this has been requiring a lot of manual readjustment of my pages as I change font sizes. (My mscore-palette.xml has default fingering sizes that are appropriate for most of my uses, but I have some scores with large sizes/scaling, and so I must adjust the text size. If I do enough of this, I'll add another set of 'large-font-fingering' elements to my palette; but for now, I am adjusting these sizes manually.) I'm guessing that this is either a known problem or an obvious one. If more detail or examples are needed, please let me know.

If you have a sample score that demonstrates this effect, posting it would help. I just tried to reproduce it and didn't see any issues. Also, did you try saving it after the change then reloading? There are definitely some cases I've seen with other text elements where a change using text properties appeared t first to have the wrong effect, then upon reload things went back to normal.

On further investigation, it only happens when the page-fill threshold has been reached. See the attached. As it says, just change the first fingering indication to 10 point with 'apply to all elements of same type' and note the indicated line.
UPDATE: Oh I forgot to mention that the problem persisted after saving/reopening.
