I've been adjusting manually articulations (dot of staccato) on this score, beacuse articulations are seen a bit inside the notes.

I left m, 38 , fLUTE PART, the way I had all of them.

Is there a way to write articulations not colladind with the notes they refer to?

I appreciate your always valuable help

When I delete the staccato dots in measure 38 and reapply them, they are positioned correctly. I can't say why they are not positioned correctly for you. I can select them and press backspace, and they return to their normal position.

Thank you very much, zuill,
I didn't notice that before.
I think the reason is that: my Flute teacher sent me the Flute part as XML made on Musescore.
It seems that the file is somehow when is imported.
I see now as you say that if I delete articulations and put them agaig they look right

In Utilities/Change/Articulations, there's an option to change the position of articulations to their default position. If you highlight the whole score, and apply that utility, you might see a dramatic improvement to the look of the articulations in this score.
