Misplaced ledger lines
I have an entire stave where the notes are correct - the playback is playing the correct notes - but the placement of the notes has somehow moved up a third. in other words: Using treble clef: I type in a B below middle C. Now the B AND it's ledger line, instead of sitting below the staff is up a third. It looks like a D until you look really closely. You can see the ledger line sitting ON TOP of the bottom line of the staff where the note E belongs. The B is there. It plays a B. It is just sitting in the wrong place on the staff. I have tried and tried ti correct this. Can anyone help?

Thank you, Shoich. The Concert pitch button is off.
Another possibility is actually are using the wrong clef - be sure the clef sits on the "G" line and isn't shifted lower (the "French violin clef"). If you accidentally selected the wrong clef, simply drag the correct one onto your score.
If you still have problems, please attach your score and we can assist better.

Thank you, Marc. I have checked the clef. It sure looks to me like the correct, standard treble clef. Plus there are 3 vocal lines on 3 staves. The other two do not have this problem. File attached. Your help is appreciated.

What seems strange is that kind of boldface
due to Stave properties-> Line distance extra space
Edit: My solution in attachment

Thank you again, Soichi! The odd, boldface look is only a change in font as I find it easier to read.

To be clear: the problem is your use of the "line distance" setting, which is intended for creasting experimental staves, not for simply enlarging a staff. To enlarge a staff, use instead the "Scale" setting, which not only increases the size of the staff itself but also scales everything else accordingly.
