Line component of TextLines ignores Text alignment

Issue type

Bug description

Left-aligned (correct)

Center-aligned

Right-aligned

Steps to reproduce

1. Add a cresc. line to the score
2. Change the text alignment of the begin text

P.S., if you don't mind, how can a user of Mu4 get the offset of the text like this with these changes? I'd imagine there's a way, but I'm not familiar much with the differences. A quick test and i couldn't figure it out with the text-style options. Originally in 3, 1) Right alignment + 2) a Y-offset within inspector would allow for this (or at the end of a text etc).

Using "Placement" to not be auto but rather "above" or whatever would allow for the text to be detached from the line positioning

Hi, this can currently still be achieved using x- and y-offset in properties. the 'placement' option would work as well but is not exposed in properties at the moment

Gotcha. Thanks for the response. For some reason I was thinking at the time of the question that the appropriate x/y-offset was the score-wide one (since that's where the alignment option is located), and it wasn't doing anything when I quickly tested.
