Text Alignment
Have text alignment options been moved, or even removed (by accident)?
I can't see anything.

Sorry I didn't give an example (it was late at night!).
If you go into Composer in 1.3, you are able to choose how text is aligned. I can't see this in 2.0 and seems to set its own alignment if you open a 1.3 score.
1. Open attached score (produced in 1.3).
Expected result: Text appears as suggested.
Actual result: Text always appears as follows: Lyrics - left-aligned, Title - centre, Composer - right-aligned.

Text seems to be a problem elsewhere too.
1. Open attached score (produced in 1.3).
2. Right-click stave.
3. 'Stave Properties…'.
Expected result:
Actual result:
Note: Regardless of what you change (e.g. centring the short instrument name text), whatever Stave Properties displays is applied - the latter not reflecting what is currently set in the score (notice that everything in instrument name is on the one line).

Likely related to this , I wanted to add to it:
1. Open attached score (produced in 1.3).
2. Right-click stave.
3. 'Stave Properties…'.
4. Tick 'Do not hide if system is empty'.
5. 'OK'.
Result: The line break of the instrument name has been discarded.
Note: I couldn't seem to reproduce in a 2.0 score.

Not just that option - anything that causes the system to need to be completely laid out again. Changes font size too - picks up the current text style of 12pt. I suspect that's the real issue here. Your original name was not in sync with the text style, any change that re-calculates system names applies the text style. Something like that.

I'm still confused. Your first post said you couldn't see the text alignment options at all - implying you actually opened the Text styles or Text Properties dialogs and the control were missing. I guess you are actually not talking about those dialogs, but instead, the manual overrides that are present in the text editing toolbar while editing a text? These have indeed been moved to the Text Properties dialog.
In general, custom formatting (ie, overrides to overall text properties made via the toolbar) present in a 1.3 score *is* honored in 2.0. But there are a few specific limitations, and the removal of the relX and relY parameter may be responsible for why it doesn't work with respect to right aligning text within a left aligned block. That was the subject of some debate as I recall; I don't remember what the resolution was.
Anyhow, the answer to your original question is: text alignment in general is still in Text Style and Text Properties dialog, but it is removed from the local overrides present in the text editing toolbar.

Yes, the limitations you mention.
I usually have composer text that is centre-aligned at the right of the page.
It would be good if something was filed with all the details so there can be some resolution.
