I don't know if this problem started with Finale 2008a, but there is
a problem with giving word extensions a horizontal offset.
The thing I want to avoid is having my word extensions (in lyrics)
start too closely to a syllable or punctuation attached to that
syllable. The default setting tends to make the line and the
punctuation look like they are part of the same thing. Fortunately
there is a horizontal offset in document options: lyrics: smart word
extensions to make the line start further to the right. I think 5 or
6 looks pretty good for the font I'm using.
The bug that crops up is that once you put in an offset, every word
ending gets a tiny line that is the length of that offset. It looks
like there is a period after every word. This is worse than the
original problem.
Did this bug just crop up recently? Is there a simple solution?
I await the wisdom of this list, which by the way, doesn't seem to be
all that busy these days, before I report the bug to MakeMusic.
