David,
This is amazing. I was able to drop this into my own project without any
trouble except changing the lyrics context command to reflect me using 2.16
instead of 2.17. Kudos.
Cheers,

Well, comparing the lengths of strings is a bit shortsighted, as all
four-letter words don't occupy the same space... Revised to work with
stencil sizes, as David Kastrup suggests earlier in this thread.

I'm not in a position to test this at the moment, but just for
confirmation, will this work with an arbitrary number of tagged syllables
through a Lyrics context?
ex:
tagIt = \once \override Lyrics.LyricText #'tagged = ##t

Hi Gregory,
Here's another version which will automatically find the longest syllable.
You can tag any one of the lyric syllables at a given timestep.
HTH,

Just thinking about some of the stuff I've been working on.

list of verses, with each verse a list of words), so that for each syllable

So the lyrics are supposed to be aligned as a block first which is then
centered on the note.
Exactly.
I think that the current machinery is rather working by aligning
everything independently to the note in question.
Indeed.
That would place the prealignment of the lyrics into

Is it possible to automatically left align the first word of multiple
line lyrics ? By default the lyrics are all centered under the note,
which is okay in most situations, but perhaps not optimal for the first
word of a staff. For example, the words "Ccc", "Cc" and "C" are
centered under
