Extra footnote
The footnote is supposed to be on page 1 only; however, it's also on page 3. I can't find a way to hid it or get rid of it.
Wizards? <3

You're using a footer for this, but that's meant for text that is supposed to appear on all pages (or, in your case, because you've checked the different odd/even box, on all odd pages). If you have text you want to appear on one page only, just add it normally (eg, using a frame) rather than using the footer. Only the copyright message has special handling to show on first page only.

Ah! I understand now. Thanks, Marc. And I never thought of using a frame. You're the BEST! <3

I liked the way my note looked in the footer best. However, in the end, I added text below the system and pushed it down further than normal. If there was a way to create another footer that worked for one page only, that would be wonderful. Thanks for referring me to the conversation, jeetee. <3

There should be no difference at all in the appearance of the text in a footer versus added normally, assuming you are using the same font etc.. BTW, probably better to use a frame than staff text. To push it down you'd increase the top gap for the frame.

The footer allows the bottom system to align with the margin, like the following pages. I simply liked the final PDF better. Inserting a text frame puts it at the top of the system, not the bottom, and I'm not able to drag it down. Inserting a text frame above the next system won't drag across the pages. Appending text frames inserts them at the end of the score. I thought staff text was my final option. Am I missing something?
Thanks for checking in, Marc. I always appreciate your time. <3

There's not very much room left for a frame indeed, but after removing those in there, I could add a plain vertical frame (not a text frame) and size it to 2sp.
The Staff Text must be removed to make room for the frame on the first page.
Then right-click the frame and "add text" to add your text. You can now use the vertical alignment options in the inspector to align the text with the bottom of the frame.

Got there a slightly different way. I reset all page setting to default, and when scaling, it turned up at the right place! LOL!
Thanks again, jeetee. You are always helpful. Much appreciated. <3

If I'm understanding correctly, the issue you have e isn't how the text itself looks - it's literally identical in all three approaches (footer, staff text, frame), but where it's positioned. By default, the frame you added didn't fit on the first page, but that's only because it was too big. Make it smaller and it fits.
It's possible to get the exact same positioning using any of these techniques. As noted, in that particular score, the default position for a frame would be on the next page, but the gap and size settings for a frame give you tons of flexibility. If the goal is to get the text into the margin, so the bottom staff of the first page is at the same place as the next page, this tells me you need a zero height frame with a 0 sp gap. I tried that and it works. But at that point, you probably are better off just making it staff text. Although in that case, you'd need to disable autoplace to make sure it moves into the margin.
BTW, you have a whole bunch of invisible dynamic markings that don't seem to make sense, as they are the same as the visible ones.
In reply to If I'm understanding… by Marc Sabatella
Disabling Automatic placement works perfectly! I didn't know it was there.
The invisible dynamics are overkill from the last piece I worked on that had a small symphony plus voice. Trying to find out why some things didn't sound right led to markups on everything plus decreasing dynamics on all the instruments and increasing the voice dynamic, even though it was already marked solo in instruments. I finally got it to look and sound right, but was very tired of it and didn't go back and figure it out further. I've simplified this one. It's only piano. I cut it back to one dynamic per voice instead of having duplicate dynamics for both staves.
Thanks again, Marc. Awesome, as usual. <3
In reply to Disabling Automatic… by judeeylander
You can simplify further - no need for any of those invisible dynamics. A single "mp" (or whatever) automatically applies to all voices of both staves. In fact, even if you wanted separate dynamics for separate voices, MuseScore doesn't support that - you'd need to use the Inspector instead to set velocity offsets.
In reply to You can simplify further -… by Marc Sabatella
Really? Even for different instruments? This is the one that drove me nuts. I zipped it for shipping when I finally got it to sound right. I'll use velocity offsets in the future. Again, something else I didn't know was there.
Thanks in advance for looking at it, if you have time. <3

Different instruments need their own dynamics, and they should be visible - otherwise the human musician reading the music won't know to play them,
But I was talking about the invisible dynamics you have for piano in your previously-ttached file. Only one instrument, so only one dynamic needed.
In this version, you are notating multiple instruments on the same staff. That's not something commonly done except for study scores. But in any case, MuseScore still doesn't have any way to play different voices with different dynamics. So you might add the dynamics there for the different instruments, but only one will actually take effect. There's no point in an invisible dynamic here..

We're preparing the whole series for Project Gutenberg. In those days, nearly every literate household also had a piano. Some of these are arranged from orchestra pieces for piano, and maybe a few accompanying instruments. For the HTML, I followed the scans for the piano and voice, then added the instruments and hid them for the listener. My biggest problem was with the instruments, and even the piano, drowning out the voice. I won't change it now. Going forward, I'll do things differently.
Again, thanks for everything. <3
