Hi @jaguarxii, thanks for following up! Adding a Text above a Bar is a good strategy. Thanks for sharing your code so others may be able to replicate this result!

It sounds like support for text alignment in horizontally arranged bars isn't great. The code that controls that behavior is here, so if someone wants to create a pull request to modify this behavior and improve support for text alignment in horizontal bars, I would be happy to review it and merge it in 👍

In the mean time, it seems like you have a great solution! Thanks again for sharing
