But *just* for instrument names, right? Text styles are indeed not as fully supported for them as for other text elements - both in terms of position & alignment but also in that changes don't apply until a reload.
But note step 6. Reload Score
Yes. To be clear, as far as I know, most of the style settings for instrument names do work but only after reload, however, the positioning / alignment options basically don't work at all.
I just wanted to make sure the issue you are seeing is for instrument names only - in which case it's a known (I guess) limitation of that element type specifically. As opposed to a general problem with horizontal offsets not working at all anywhere.
TBH the only reason I spotted it was because of a non-standard name which required the text to be centred instead of left aligned.
Just done a little more testing.
It just seems to be Staff Names that behave like this.
Amending the title accordingly
