Need help with Text
First, I can't get a copyright to just stay on the first page. It goes to all pages, and I can't turn that off.
Second, I really wish there was a way (just like in Finale) to drop a text frame anywhere I want it, and type whatever I like, and format that particular instance without changing anything else. Not affecting layout, or measure numbers. No Staff Text, System Text, Vertical Frames, etc. None of that stuff. Just a simple text box, that won't respace the staves, or leave the dotted frame lines on the score.
Is that too much to ask for? Notes, rests, lyrics, things from the palettes are just dandy. I love them. But text, not so much.

Copyright. Put the text you want in the copyright field in Project properties - accessed from the Fike menu. Then put $C (note the capital C) in the footer (or headerl accessed from Format>Style>Header and footer.
Re text: Musescore's text editing capabilities are pretty rudimentary. It is better to use a text editor to do anything fancy and then copy/paste to musescore.
But it is not clear what is limiting you regarding text placement. Frames and stave text give you many ways of adjusting where text is located.
