The following solution avoids the need to manually figure out the
adjustment value and might
be a starting point for a clever Scheme hacker to do a fully automated
solution. What it does is
\layout{
\context{
\Lyrics
% Make sure that the alignment point of the syllable is aligned with
the note head:
\override LyricText #'X-offset =
#ly:self-alignment-interface::centered-on-x-parent
}
}
\relative c'{ c d e f }
\addlyrics {
% Split the syllable into two halves to set the alignment point:
\markup {\combine \right-align Dddda \left-align d }
\markup {\combine \right-align da \left-align dddddd }
\markup {\combine \right-align Dda \left-align dd }
\markup { \right-align Dddda }
}
Unfortunately, it makes aligns the note head with the right hand end of
the wovel, so it's not
perfect. If we try to split the syllable into three parts (before first
wovel, wovel and the remainder)
and use \center-align on the wovel, you are hit by the same problem as
in http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=732&q=markup
Note also that the \left-align is redundant and can be removed without
changing the
results.

Hi Jiri,
I've attached a hint on how to do it manually.
If you need an automated process, perhaps someone on the list will
take you up on your sponsorship offer.
Hope this helps!
