Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm working through a 9-movement choral piece performed locally every year since around the mid-50s that has heretofore existed only as a handwritten manuscript. I have essentially mirrored the manuscript which is two staves, 2 parts per stave. The rewrite from earlier this year (the first time it was been digitally scored) added another 2-part staff above, making a TTBB piece SATTBB. The request has been made to break it out into 6 individual staves. Problem is that the version from earlier in the year required A LOT of manual lyric positioning. Now that we're in a nice, neat 6-stave format, all those manual adjustments need to go away. It's not working out so well at all when the 6-part score is exported as an uncompressed XML file for use with the Cantamus app. There are baseline adjustments still in there even though I have manually gone through the Adjust Lyric Baselines dialog with a fine-toothed comb. The resulting XML file is a baseline/offset mess!

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like a VERY simple way of resetting all lyric baselines and offsets (offsets seemingly being the key to success here).

Describe alternatives you've considered
Robert Patterson suggested I post this request here. I have tried the Lyric Baselines dialog in Finale, the paid version of TGtools, a couple of seemingly relevant LUA scripts. Nothing fixes the problem. I am about to try creating new staves and copy/pasting notes and lyrics in the hopes that baseline offsets do not copy over.
