I can see how it's not going to be perfect for every situation, but, man, what a great job it does. I think I've ended up adjusting only 5 total places just a hair because of some close proximity to the Stanza text, but compared to the over 60 syllables I had to tweak before, your fix easily beats what I was trying to do manually!!! What a time saver! Follow-on realization: This code even works with the LSR snippet that ignores punctuation! ( http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/LyricText-center-on-word-breaks-lyricMelismaAlignment-tt183456.html). This has turned a so-so day into an amazing one! Thank you, Jean! As a choir director for my local church congregation, this will save me so much time! Best, Abraham P.S. I hope my enthusiasm for this fix doesn't eclipse my sincere appreciation for all the amazing work done by the regular developers past and present. I've had lots of generous help over the years from many developers and other users here. So grateful to you all for creating a truly awesome tool and helping me and so many others!
