Lyric baseline offsets not consistent

I notice that if I select only one syllable per line and use Alt-up arrow, Dorico moves those lyrics up a certain distance, but if I include a marquee-selected chunk of lyrics (perhaps with hyphens?), Alt-up arrow moves the lyrics up half that distance. So the former requires only 5 clicks to move it the same distance as 10 for the latter.

Is that intentional? It throws me a bit.

Yes, you’re correct that Dorico moves lyrics by one distance, and lyric lines/hyphens by a different distance, so if you have a line or hyphen selected it will move by a different distance. This isn’t quite right, and I’ll make sure it gets fixed.
