Chord names on page 2 are too close to the lyrics
I have been working on setting up a song and noticed that the chord names on page 2 are too close to the lyrics. Everything on page 1 looks good. See the attached file. I'm not sure what to do to get the distances on page 2 to match those on page 1. I tried going to Edit General Style but nothing that I could see or try fixed the problem.

You can play on two things : the distance between systems and the lower margin of lyrics in Edit general style -> Page

Yes I have tried working with both the system distance and the Lyrics lower margin settings and nothing is working consistently. When I try resetting the system distance only page one is affected and nothing changes on page two. When I try resetting the Lyrics lower margin sometimes page one changes a little and page two changes dramatically. If I set the number up from 3.2 to 5.2 then the distances are expanded way too much on page two and shrink on page one.
As you can see by the example the distance of the chord names to the last line of the lyrics on page one is very different than page two. To me they should be the same and I shouldn't have to adjust them per page. I should think that making adjustments to the General Style settings would affect the whole score.
This seems like a bug because no matter what I do to change the numbers on these two settings nothing comes out even.

MuseScore tries to space evenly the system on a page when the content of the page is greater than the "Page threshold" defined in Style -> Page. If you want to control everything manually you can set this threshold to 100%.

Thanks. That did the trick. No bug with this one. Now I just need to remember all of these tips and tricks. This app is great.
