Measure selectors don't line up properly

I have gotten into a situation where measure selectors don’t appear properly relative to the content. What is causing this?

See attached screenshot. I have also attached the file.

The “measure selectors” are the System Track. It can be pushed upwards by anything above the staff, such as text (VERSE and PRE-CHORUS, etc., in your example) and chord symbols.

If you want to hide the System Track, press alt/opt-T.

Yeah, I see that now. I need to get used to working with a large vertical spacing until I am largely done, and then move things around to get a tighter vertical spacing (to get fewer pages in Forescore)

Yeah, generally speaking, all layouting work should be done right at the end. Don’t worry about how things look on a page until when you’re done putting things in :wink:
