Hello friends.
Can you answer me what does the first triangle do?

I have figured what does the 2nd, 3rd and 4th triangles do when I move them but I don't know what happens if I move the 1st triangle.

You use that far right triangle to move a syllable that you have selected.

Actually, the 4th triangle (the one on the right) is for the position of the next lyric to be entered. It doesn't affect lyrics already entered. The unlink option is so the part(s) can have a different lyric baseline position from the score.
