When the string is divided into three sections, the instrument name shifts to the left. Is there a way to align it to match the positions of the instruments divided into two sections?
I don’t think you can, because the width of the word “solo” is being considered for your “violin II” and “viola” groups.

Hi @ytdiya1, you could though change the Solo label to occupy less space.
Here two options:
A: make the label short (S.)
B: shrink the Font Stretch and shrink the Font Size
And if you want, you can also reduce the Distance between inner or only staff label and systemic barline and the Distance between inner and outer staff labels on same staff:
You can simply delete the Solo staff name in the Change Divisi dialog so it’s completely blank. The Vln. I label will then be positioned close to the divisi label. Just add the Solo label as Shift+X text. Switch to the part layout, switch to Local, and Hide the label, then it won’t affect the spacing or break a multibar rest.

Obviously this will get annoying quickly if you have a lot of them to do, but at least it’s one way to get the result you want.
