Hi,
another one for the Sibelius users...
I added a text block on the second page containing additional verses.
I wrote 1. - TAB - first verse
And aligned everything.
Up to the 5th verse.
But the text printed as
1. bla bla bla
bla bla bla.
What I wanted is:
1. bla bla bla
Bla bla bla
Bla bla bla...
I couldn't get this working.
