Project
Score with multiple lyrics on a given system
Select any lyric on that system, try to adjust the vertical position. Nothing works - mouse, Inspector, cursor. I guess it's the code to try to keep lyrics aligned, but then, it should work if you select all the lyrics on that system, and that doesn't work either. Disabling autoplace works, but shouldn't be necessary, and it's not a good solution because it also disables the automatic spacing (maybe in this case it shouldn't).
Comments
Perhaps related to #282629: Lyrics can not be be placed above/below staff individally, only the whole verse but likely a different fix would be needed.
See also #280139: Autoplace fails to avoid melisma underscores, and for that matter #278522: Lyrics: positioning issues. Right now we use the offset field as part of the autoplace alignment-within-system algoirithm. I think this is a mistake, it needs to be pos only. Then offset can be freely manipulated by the user. but while we are at it, we should also account for lyricsline (dashes and melisma) and be sure to autoplace and align them as well.
Possible now that https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/4982 is merged
