David's suggestion results in similar to your first suggestion - it seems a bit too far to the left. self-alignment-X = #RIGHT works for 1 character, but not for lyrics - for lyrics (when the drummer is the vocalist), I had to use your method.`#RIGHT`, `#CENTER`, and `#LEFT` are the same as values +1, 0, and -1, respectively. Intermediate values are allowed, too, so you might try self-alignment-X = 0.8 or something similar. The advantage of using `self-alignment-X` over `extra-offset` is that the former is seen by LilyPond while doing the spacing, and the latter is not. Werner
Thanks for the tip, after experimenting, I had to use: \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #-0.8 Otherwise, there is an 'error: syntax error, unexpected REAL'
