No, once you have saved and reloaded the file there should be no
spurious errors. The bug I have logged is the one you found: when first
creating a change of time signature by splitting a bar and inserting
the right time signature the other bar split off is still cached as
being in the wrong "prevailing time signature". The workaround,
documented in my bug report is to save and reload. The bug would only
affect commands that enquire for the prevailing time signature in the
affected bar - it still displays ok and typesets ok.

It is only checking the "music" - that is the stuff that you can see in
the staffs in the display. It doesn't check anything to do with the
score layout - the titles, special treatment of the staffs etc. I, too,
thought the ragged left effect would be due to some setting at the
score or movement level, but I should have run Check Score first as the
problem was just that the staffs were of different lengths, with some
(the Chords) not showing anything to give the game away. (Usually you
can see different duration staffs on the typeset).

No, it's just that usually the errors you find are not in the music but
in the score layout, mirroring staffs and applying different
transpositions and so on, all relatively unexplored territory...
