can this text be reproduced without system/staff text, and is the voice type wrong?
- Can the highlighted text be reproduced without system/staff text?
Yes you may change font but can I change it all in one instrument? - Is the voice type wrong?
the piece is the "All That I Ask Is Love" which seems to be a quartet chorus of the main song, "All That I Ask Of You Is Love":
When I input them(incomplete text btw), the notes on both tenors seem too high. I think it's supposed to be Soprano and Mezzo/Alto?

Yes, but only with some dirty trickery, in 3.6.2:

But see #321924: Allow sub and sup tags in instrument/part names
Use a Tenor clef, G Clef Ottava Bassa, then move all Tenor notes down an octave, like in my sample score
Or change the Tenors' transpositioning to take care of that octave in their staff properties

Hysterical Raisins? I guess they see Tenor as octave transposing.

is that an error or something or the 8va bassa wasn't really used at that time or what?

can "melody" be put to the center and what do I type in the instrument names?
I tried but it just shows something like this:

You can't edit that text with MuseScore 3.6.2, that's why I called it a dirty trick (I hand-edited the mscx file to make it happen). It currently says:
but turns into t(a non-working):
when you edit it.
The fix for that is in master, so will be in MuseXScore 4, and is also is part of my big PR #9000, which might become MuseScore 3.7, but that is pretty unlikely to happen, it seems

You can go to Format > Style > Text styles > Long instrument name, and set that to Centered. But that will affect the other long instrument names too.
Actually that will be making it look like the PDF, so go ahead and do that

It was common a century or so ago to write tenor an octave higher and just assume people would figure it out. In centuries before that, the same might be true for alto. These days we don't typically assume, but no doubt some published might still do this somewhere. If you prefer to notate it the ambiguous way these historic editions did it, you can instead use the standard treble clef but set the transposition to by down an octave in staff/part properties.
