Hello,
Sometimes, when I write a text with the Text tool everywhere in my score, the same text appears on one Staff (Abbr Name), like you can see in this exemple attached (the word is "Refrain").
If I go to Edit Staff Atributes and delete the text, it disappears from the place I put it first.
How can I resolve this problem definitively ?
Best regards

What you describe, is a well known bug.
Obviously the text block is linked to the staff name.

Try this:

Create an extra text block, and enter same the text (= Refrain) there, too.
This extra text block is not linked to the staff name.

Delete the first text block.

The new text block will remain unlinked to the staff name, and you can position the text block where the first text block was.
