Composer always vertically aligns chord names and rehearsal marks, thus saving you the effort of manually aligning them. The basic nature of free text objects is that you can freely place them anywhere in the score. Sometimes, however, you may want to vertically align multiple free text objects in a staff. For example, you might want to align tempo markings.
