Hmm, with lilypond-1.2.6, it doesn't do this any longer. The "Piano"
string isn't exactly centered, but it's not printed on top of one of
the other strings at least.

Mhmhmhm.... I think Lilypond should concentrate on typesettings notes
beautifully, nothing more. I admit that this way it's no tool that the
average MS Word User can make full use of with one day learning time,
but I don't think there will be a solution to this problem any time.
Somehow it's the Unix "utility toolbox" philosophy -- you have a lot
of tools which handle *one* job very well, and it's up to you to
combine them to achieve what you want.
