I just had another look at this and IMO the list version is correct as

Why do we need this list environment after all?
A description is basically the same.
btw. It is possible to make the list envir smarter so that you don't

The problem is the \hfill which makes alignment of the lable highly

And why doesn't my \makebox work?
Hmm, what happens if we just use:

The problem with the \hfill is that it is impossible to right align

I just had another look at this and IMO the list version is correct as
it is now. This environment is a hack! And to get the label width
correctly you have to set Label with in Layout->Paragraph.
Why do we need this list environment after all?
A description is basically the same.
btw. It is possible to make the list envir smarter so that you don't
have to set the Label width manually, this would require us to output
the widest label to the .aux file and run latex a second time to get
it right.

| OK, adding styles to it, such as
|
| Style score1
| CopyStyle Paragraph
| LatexType Environment
| LatexName score1
| Margin Static
| LeftMargin "MM"
| Align left

that is because you need to add the latex definitions to the

What are these "score" environments anyway?
