Re: Lyrics overruning left staff line

[Lloyd Kvam]

Thanks, that worked perfectly.  Much better than my s4._" " spacing.

I assume that 
        -1 is text starts at note (left justified)
        0 is text centered on note
        +1 is text ends at note (right justified)
(Perhaps only the sign matters)
