Sony misreading epub layout of poetry - how do I solve it?

I do not possess any reading devices, so checking is a bit complex. I 
have a test  epub file which is reported as showing up correctly in most 
devices.

Sony [which uses Digital Editions from Adobe] is failing to get the 
detail right. This involves css instructions for line positions. Almost 
every other line needs to be indented, but they are showing up as all at 
the left margin. Does anyone know what the difference is in 
interpretation that is causing this? Does Sony use different details in 
css; or is it more limited in what it can recognise?  There seems to be 
a similar problem with Kobo.

I cannot find any help on the net, either because it isn't there or 
because I haven't found the right search words.

The css is fairly simple, and this is what is working practically 
everywhere else:

.line1-left

{

margin: noinherit;

padding-bottom: 1%;

font-family: serif;

font-weight: 600;

}

.line2-indent3

{

padding-left: 2.2em;

padding-bottom: 1%;

font-family: serif;

font-weight: 600;

}


Each line is in a <div> container.


Any help welcomed.
