Isn't a better solution to make the first syllable left aligned with the note? This should automatically result in left aligned lyrics and aligned notes.
/Mats Quoting Wilbert Berendsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi, I try to write a hymn (one voice with lyrics below), and I want to align the first lyric of each line vertically. I know i can use the space-alist properties of KeySignature and TimeSignature to determine the spacing to the first note, but I want the lyrics to start at an exact distance from the left, so the exact place of the first note varies with the length of the first lyric syllabe (because the lyrics are centered). I could manually tweak the place of first note of every line (because I know where the linebreaks occur) but I would rather an automatic way. This time LSR gave me no luck. The Wilhelmus example[1] looks quite like what I want, but it aligns the first notes, not the lyrics. In my case the length of the words varies quite wildly...
