Text Properties Dialog "Fields" Page
This page, which only appears on the properties dialogs of tracks text objects, lets you choose
between fixed and variable field widths.
In fixed-width mode, all rows of a field will be the same width. If you set the "track name" field
to be 2.5 centimeters wide, every track will have a 2.5-centimeter-wide track name. All rows
will line up exactly underneath each other, like the rows in a spreadsheet or a table in a word
processor.
In variable-width mode, each field of each row will be exactly as wide as required to display the
amount of text. The title field for "You've Certainly Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts" will be
wider than the title field for "Louie Louie." The rows in the text object will not line up directly
underneath each other, unless all their text fields happen to be exactly the same length.
In variable-width fields mode, there will be a fixed amount of space between fields. If you
specify 1.2 centimeters after the track number field, every row will have 1.2 centimeters of
blank space between its row number and the field that follows it, no matter how wide individual
track numbers may be. When you're in variable-width fields mode and you drag the field
borders in the header bar, you're actually editing the width of the distance between the fields
rather than the widths of the fields themselves.
Fixed width fields work well for left-justified text or cases where you've got more than two fields
visible. The variable width fields setting can have a nice effect on centered or right-justified
