I am using linear scales in perspective, and the indicator labels by default are positioned so they can overlap with the tick mark labels, so if my "High" indicator happens to be in the same location as a labeled tick mark it turns into a sloppy looking mash of letters. It's not the biggest problem, but I would really like to be able to bump the label over 5 or 10 pixels. It doesn't change with the width of the scale, I can't find a property that will let me alter it, and the label seems to ignore leading spaces.

Is there some way to make this happen?

Did you ever find a solution for this?

If you use your browser's Developer Tools and inspect the labels you should find that it is controlled by the `.ia_linearScaleComponent __indicator__ label` class. You'll need to figure out how to modify that.
