Thanks for your quick answer. Unfortunatly it does not solve the problem. Here is the result of your code: http://www.nabble.com/file/p24032925/proposition-1.png
The problem is "problem" should be aligned with the second G, above 'sang'. The space above "drink" should be blank. So let me reformulate, how can I achieve this ?
