OS: Windows 10 (10.0), Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.0.0.4095, revision: 5859662

See attached score. MuseScore seems to add a fixed width gap between the text and the line. In 2.x the right-hand edge of the text could be made to abut the line. Is it possible to make this gap adjustable in the Inspector?

I opened the score and didn't get the idea. What is wrong? Could add more info or scenario and attach gif or screenshots explaining what is going on please?

In 2.x, the line looks like this:

But in 3.0-dev, there is a gap between the text and the line:

Note: there is a bug in the alignment of the text-line in 3.0-dev which has not been fixed yet. Press left-align to correct it.

Looks like the extra 0.5sp was added during the early days of autoplace. The code is currently in TextlineBaseSegment::layout(), a variable called textlineTextDistance set explicitly to 0.5sp. I'm not sure it is actually needed, and I'd be fine with seeing it go away. Or adding a new property to control it.

IMV, an adjustable "Gap" would still be a useful property.
