From a Finale refugee, how can I lock a system text in place? I have a score with an instructional System text. It appears on all of the individual parts, but when I close the file and then re-open it the text is moved 4 or 5 bars from where I placed it.
This is clearly not the expected behavior! Can you post the file? Or send it to the devs if there are copyright issues?
I’m wondering though: have you used Engrave mode to move it, in the full score layout or in the individual parts? When you move stuff manually (engrave mode), you’re actually modifying some properties. If that’s the case, make sure your properties are set to local so that the moves you make in a layout do not transpose to all other layouts!

I set them in write, but I have moved some in engrave. I’ll take a look at the things you mentioned.

Also, make sure you are moving things locally, as Global movement will affect every layout.
