Hello!

I do regularly come across the need to resetting the vertical alignment of lyrics for a whole piece. Up until now I have done so, system for system. It is time consuming and I wonder wether it is possible to do it more easily?

Thank you!

Do you do it by the numbers in the Adjust Baselines window?

If you grab the leftmost triangle, it will move the entire verse up or down.

That only takes care of part of it. If there are settings for the other triangles, especially for multiple verses, then it takes a lot of adjusting. And dragging the triangles is not as precise as doing it by the numbers.
