Is there a button that will set the lyrics to the proper position. Sometimes they come in misaligned when importing an xml. For example, a lyric is clearly the start of a word with a hyphen after and no hyphen before, but it will come in as the middle of a word when it should be the start of a word. Sometimes the lyrics are also just slightly off center. If I spacebar through the lyrics they often self correct, but I’m wondering if there’s a single command to do this. Reset position and reset appearance don’t do anything.
Please select the lyrics and try Menu Edit > Reset Position
You have to know that in Dorico hyphens get displayed automatically between the syllables.
xml quite often import real hardcoded hyphens, which one has to remove by hand.
