I do not know how it happened: but I found text below the score (linked to some notes) which I am unable to delete. I only can mark the text, marking the notes. I already tried to copy the notes into a new score, but the text is also copied. Please look at the screenshot.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Resolution on the screenshot is too low to see for sure, but are you talking about the f and p markings? If so, I assume you know what they are?

Has this score been imported from another app and converted for Sibelius?

Yes, it had been converted from Photo Score Ultimate. The text I want to delete is the text which is not even seen within the score but below: In the screenshot you can see also lines to the notes, to which the texts seem to be linked.

In that case, I think you'll need to do more work in Photo Score before exporting in to Sibelius. I never use it, it's faster for me to input manually.

If that text is in Photo Score, than try deleting those notes. Does the text go away? If not, can you delete the text after the notes are gone. Does the text come back if you re-enter the notes?
As Andy says, the more you can do in PS the better the results will be in Sibelius. I us PS all the time, and have never seen this. How did you get this music into PS?
