Description
Expected behavior of the wanted feature
I have an use case to move SRT subtitles horizontally from their initial centered position, in the same way that I can do vertically (by calling sub-pos).
Alternative behavior of the wanted feature
Perhaps this isn't the right way to think about it, but the closest functions I found on the docs were sub-align-x and sub-margin-x. However, as you know, I can't make use of moving the subtitles through sub-margin-x when sub-align-x is centered.
Note that this is not a case of a singular set of subtitles that I could sort out by creating an ASS subtitle for, rather it is a case that repeats itself in time and applies to the playback of various video files.

Research direction
Start with the documentation for sub-pos, sub-align-x, and sub-margin-x, then trace how the existing subtitle positioning controls are implemented. Done means a clearly defined horizontal offset control for subtitles that works independently of centered horizontal alignment and is documented for repeated playback use.
