This kind of stuff is a bit easier to read in a swtich statement, since you want to collapse several values into a single code path, and switch-fallthrough will do that nicely:

```javascript
switch(cue.align) {
  case "middle":
    ...
    break;
  case "left":
  case "start":
    ...
    break;
  ...
  default:
    ...
    break;
}
```
