Check the fermata placement in this clip in Print Preview:
If you remove the clef at the end of the measure, the fermata aligns properly. Not a common problem, but it happened to occur in a piece I'm editing that needed a courtesy clef in that position.
(As a side note: I caught this because I was working in the 2.1 beta and using the F11 switch to go between print view and editing view. The fermata looks fine in the standard editing view, and it's subtle enough I might have missed it in print preview - but I could see it jump back and forth when I toggled the two views. This is a long way of saying
Thanks so much, Eric, for this enhancement.)

Fermatas are placed using the same rules as text and are subject to the same problems as described here (https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=6834.msg46851#msg46851):
NoteWorthy knows where it would place a note or rest, and knows that a Whole Measure Rest must be placed elsewhere, but doesn't quite grasp the concept that text aligned 'At next note/bar' should be aligned on the Whole Measure Rest. Instead, I think that it puts the text where it
would have put the note or rest. The problem is made worse by NoteWorthy's horizontal justification. Alignment looks better in the new Viewer Mode than it does in Print Preview.
I had a nagging suspicion that I'd complained about this before: and so I had.... (https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=6644.0)weirdness and all.
This bug occurs when a Whole Measure Rest shares the measure with a Clef, KeySig or TimeSig. This includes Clefs and KeySigs that are automatically added by NWC.
To center a Femata (or other text-type object) over a Whole Measure Rest, replace the Whole Measure Rest with:
Then add the Fermata/Text just before the Whole Measure Rest.
For songs with multiple staves, all Whole Measure Rests in the vertical alignment may need the same treatment.
IMO, the text is placed correctly; the Whole Measure Rest is mis-aligned.
