Verse range misalignment in poetic text #1005

Dear PTXPrint,

If there is some poetic text (using \q) that is part of a range, rather than an individual verse, and it occurs in the right hand column of a two columns layout, then the verse number (e.g. aa-bb) overhangs the central gutter and can start in the left hand column.

Please see the attached image.

(I'll attempt to create a new style with greater indent).

Kind regards

Alastair M. Paterson

My suspicion is that you don't have aa-bb (separated by U+002D Hyphen-Minus), but aa–bb (separated by U+2013 EN DASH, or even 2012 or 2014).
I say this, because PTXprint tries to write marginal verse numbers on 2 lines, but it can only do that if it finds a genuine U+002D separating them. It then replaces that U+002D with a range separator character, which is normally an EN DASH, but you can alter that.
