[TeX-music] manual correction to the lyrics - was: MusiXLYR long words...

[Andre Van Ryckeghem]

In the list (MusiXLYR long words centered at melisma?) there were a number 
of tricks proposed for moving the lyrics. I dare to show the methods i use, 
hoping to get comments on it and in the first place to get better methods to 
do so.

Normally the words are centered under the notes,
with melissa left justified.
But the verse numbers are to be left justified also, i think.
Long words can be justified by taking a new line for the staff, but a
\\\scale{1.6}\
...
\\\scale{1}\
construction around a bar will do the work ( the number of bars on the staff 
will not change, the other bars are smaller then).

Moving the words left or right can be done with 'kernm2pt' or 'kern2pt' 
before the word

The tricks are applied in the following code:
