Bug description
Almost every thing can be stable from MusicXML import to export when using layout, but one thing is always a bit off: the vertical position of the <credit-words>.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a blank piece and export it to MusicXML with layout
- Reimport it
- Save it again as MusicXML with layout
Screenshots/Screen recordings
Snapshot from several test runs:
14: - <credit-words default-x="600.24" default-y="1612.05" justify="center" valign="top" font-size="22">Test system dividers</credit-words>
14: + <credit-words default-x="600.24" default-y="1611.84" justify="center" valign="top" font-size="22">Test system dividers</credit-words>
