I know that chord and lyrics baseline adjustments never had an option to reset in the past. I'm doing a lot of work where I'm just using previous files for clients as my template, and I still don't see a way to reset these baselines, which should have been addressed at some point in the 30-something years this program has existed. Has it ever been implemented yet?

I didn't test it, but it looks like JW Change > Chords might work. Set Horizontal Position or Clear Position maybe?

Oh! I keep forgetting about checking plugins. Looks like there's a syllables positioning reset, as well.

Thanks for the lookout!
