Hi there! Something that should be very simple, but I just can’t figure it out:
I use a label in a canvas with the “active song” OSC. It displays the name of the song centered, but I would like it to be left aligned. Google says I should change the “text alignment” in the sidebar. But there is none when I select the label element. All I can do is make the text bold, italic etc… for move the element to the front, back etc… Am I overlooking something here big time? Thanks so much for any hint in the right direction.
Hey @chrisnemet,
You’re not overlooking anything. Text alignment wasn’t available for Label elements until recently. It was added in the latest beta, AbleSet 3.2.0 beta 7.
If you update to that build, you’ll find the new controls in the Font section of the Label’s properties: Font Size, Alignment (horizontal and vertical), and Style (bold, italic, underline). Setting the horizontal alignment to left should give you exactly what you’re after.
Give it a try and let me know how it works on your end!
Thank you so much! I have an upcoming show in the making, so I will wait with the beta, but I’m looking forward to seeing that feature in the future!
