Dashes and underscores in lyrics not respecting vertical alignment (Musescore 2.2.1 Rev. 51b8386)

• Jun 2, 2018 - 04:41

Musescore appears to fix the vertical positioning of dashes and underscores in lyrics to "Align baseline of text to reference point", instead of what the user specifies.

As can be seen in the attached screenshot, I have specified vertical centering, so the dash and underscore are now elevated.

This issue occurs no matter what font I use, be it Arial, Times New Roman, or FreeSerif.

Hyphens and Underlines are independent of the font, as they are drawn by the software.
And when you change the vertical font alignment, the software may think that the offsets (of hyphens and underscores) doesn't change. (maybe a bug, or due to design.)

Workaround: Use vertical offset, instead of vertical font alignment.
