Another solution that could be very useful is character-width spacing controls. This is available in Score which makes it easy to use an open-looking font like New Century Schoolbook for lyrics while condensing the characters' widths by any percentage, to help with spacing. Word (character spacing > scale) and PageMaker (set width) offer this, and perhaps it's do-able in Finale.
