Re: Lyrics: many syllables -> one note?
You can also say #LEFT, #CENTER and #RIGHT instead of #-1, #0 and #1,
respectively, if you find that easier to remember.

Hi
After a preliminary fix for my problem with lyrics chanted to a
single note (thank you, Mats and Arthur), and some extremely
determined messing around, I have discovered:

\version "2.6.0"
\relative c'' {\key f \major \set Score.timing = ##f
c1 f,4 bes a \bar "|" g e f8 e f1}
\addlyrics {\once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #-1 "All
these words are placed properly under one note," while these ones are
set nor -- mal -- ly. }
___
Placing the prefix \once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #-1
before a lyric word causes Lilypond to left-align that lyric with its
note. Change the #-1 to a #1 and it will be right-aligned; use #0 for
centred (which is the default). #-0.8 is most of the way to being
left-aligned, etc. Hope this helps someone.

If you have so many words that you need a line break in the middle
of the
pseudo-chant, you would need some more advanced tricks, such as
connecting
them to a voice with invisible notes.
Thank you Mats. This works, in a way - but then the note is centred
over the line of lyrics. I suppose that may be correct for an
ordinary single syllable, but in a chant it means the singer can't
see his note until half the words are over.
However, I've successfully used invisible notes for the extra words.
Thanks to you for that tip as well.
