Thank you again. Placing the names in the margin is not a bad idea, but 
it would need to rework the rest of my macros as they do not count with 
it. Also increasing the backspace causes that the lyrics is not centered 
ideally.
Can you please kindly advice me some another solution? I can imagine 
some negative hskip, but it is probably just ugly hack.

best regards
Jan
