2String name2 = Alignment.GetNextUniqueName (..., "A");   //  name2 = "A(1)"
3String name3 = Alignment.GetNextUniqueName (..., "Alignment - (<[Next Counter(CP)]>)");   //  name3 = "Alignment - (1)"
4String name4 = Alignment.GetNextUniqueName (..., "Alignment - (<[Next Counter(CP)]>)");   //  name4 = "Alignment - (1)"
