How is 'Lyrics Vers number' from the text palette supposed to work?

• May 28, 2013 - 12:43

It seems to have it's own style, 'Lyrics verse', which doesn't mix and match with 'Lyrics even|odd lines' style, so isn't aligned with the lyrics. If using the same stly as the lyrics, it overlaps with them, I'd rather have it before the actual lyric and separated from that by at least a space, but alsi aligned with other lyric numbers in the same staff.

Also it is always only a "1.", i.e. doesn't count the line it got attached to and adjusts automatically

Hmm, seems the lyrics number's reference point is the center of the lyrics sylable it gets attached to.

But the default style for lyrics even|odd line is to "center text vertical to text baseline" while for lyrics text (the lyrics numbers) it is "align top edge to reference point", this results in it being lower than the lyrics.
Fixin that still resuluts in too little romm between the nuber and the sylable.

And adding a lyrics number changes the actual alignment of a sylable to left aligned rather than centered.
