I'm using version 25 (Windows).
I like my lyric syllables to be centered (vertically) with the notes, so in "Document Options/Lyrics/Syllable Positioning" I have set all Alignment and Justification to "Center".
However, in virtually every chart I'm editing, there are always a few syllables that align to the right. I have to manually scoot them to the left.
I'm not talking about note collisions. I understand that those syllables have to be manually scooted, though it would be nice to have a setting to accommodate that.
Strangely, this right alignment problem is most common when a syllable is linked to an eighth note which is tied to a following note and it only happens if the lyrics are between two staves. Lyrics that are above the upper staff or below the lower staff always stay centered.
Is there a way to make sure all syllables stay centered with the notes?
Also, when I manually scoot syllables, whether they were right aligned by the glitch mentioned above, or by note collisions, they tend to revert back to their original positions the next time I edit the file and I have to scoot them all over again.

Welcome to the forum!
Unfortunately I am not (yet) using Finale v25.
I suggest that you also ask in the two forums on MakeMusic’s web site.
Read this thread for instructions on, how to get there:

Thank you!
In case it makes a difference, I also had this problem with version 2012c.
