I really recommend you to upgrade to the latest stable version, 2.8.x.
If find the Cygwin command interface convenient, you can still use the
"native" Windows version available for download from www.lilypond.org
if you just include it in $PATH.
Bummer. It's a lot easier just to use cygwin itself ...
Secondly, you shouldn't expect an example taken from one version of
LilyPond to work directly with another version. So, for version 2.6.4,
you should look at the manual for version 2.6, at least to learn the
exact syntax and property names.
But it feels like a bug !!!
If the example works with "right", but not "left", it doesn't feel like
something where the syntax has changed. It feels like something that's
gone wrong!
Okay - I might just get the answer "upgrade to the latest version", but
it would be nice to know whether it IS a bug, or whether I've just
mis-understood the docu. I'll download the 2.6 docs, but I strongly
suspect I'll find nothing has changed ...

Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
I've just copied the "commonly tweaked properties" alignment example
from p174 of the 2.8 manual (section 8.1.3)
If I don't alter the alignment, my text is centre-justified. If I
copy the example exactly, my text is right-justified, as expected.
If I change "right" to "left", it goes back to the centre default!
(Using the ?current cygwin version, 2.6.4)
Cheers,
Wol

good idea to burden them with too much input. Hex always thought of his reports
