SKLabelNode Multiline - Newline Breaks Centering

Hey,

I have a multiline SKLabelNode in SpriteKit created with the following code...

body = [SKLabelNode labelNodeWithText:@"hello\ngoodbye\npeace"];
    body.horizontalAlignmentMode = SKLabelHorizontalAlignmentModeCenter;
    body.fontSize = 18;
    body.numberOfLines = 3;
    body.preferredMaxLayoutWidth = 300;
    body.fontColor = color;
    body.zPosition = 3;

When using "\n" as a linebreak, the labelnode is no longer centered. Without the custom linebreaks, it will still create a multiline label and be centered. Is there anyway to create manual linebreaks while still centering the label?

Thanks,
