Re: Vertically centering a song text.

[Robert Blackstone]

Good morning Bill,

Thanks for your advice.
Yours was the first and, as far as I can understand, only answer to my question 
and it gave me exactly what I needed.
Unfortunately the rest of what is discussed in this thread escapes me, but I 
have a sneaking suspicion that it has little to do with “Vertically centering a 
song test.”

Best regards, 
Robert Blackstone
