Mixing Roman with Italics in any of the text options
A couple of questions concerning working with text.
1. I can't find a way to make some words italic and some roman in a line of text. I'm just wondering if it is possible?
2. It looks like the words in lyrics are centered by default under the notes. It would be nice to be able to left align then at the beginning of each line. So far I haven't found a way to do it. Is it possible?

Does this bar not appear at the bottom of your MuseScore when entering text? It should appear when you select your lyrics.

You should be able to edit the words with this.

I do see it but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I must not be doing something right. Nothing happens when I choose text properties.

I had the same problem, I believe. It is not enough to select the test box, you must select the text in it that you wish to alter. If it is the whole box, just hit ctrl-A.

It is not possible to set the alignment for lyric syllables. However you can manually drag individual syllables after you have written them.
Using the italics button at the bottom of the window works for me.

Well none of the alignment stuff has worked for me so far. So I guess I just need to play with it some more.
As far as manually dragging text it would be nice if one could move or nudge items on the page with the arrow keys. I don't know if that can be done by using some modifier keys or not. So far the arrow keys don't work.
