The simplest solution is probably
\score
{
\new Staff = "Staff_voice"
<<
\new Voice = "Voice_vocal" \melody
\new Lyrics \with{\override LyricText #'X-extent = #'(0 . 0) }
\lyricsto "Voice_vocal" \words
>>
\layout{ragged-right =##f }
}
but then the syllables will collide unless you make sure to get the
notes to be spaced wide enough. The more philosophical question is what
you mean by "natural note spacing" since you still want the spacing to
be wide enough to avoid collisions between the syllables.

Hello all!
Just wondering if there's a way to tell Lilypond (2.12 or later) to
set lyrics with natural *note* spacing, as opposed to natural *lyric*
spacing...
Here's a snippet showing what I'm hoping to achieve automagically:
\version "2.13"
melody = \relative
{
c8 d e f g4. f8 | e1
}
words = \lyricmode
{
On Thanks -- giv -- ing screeched we, “Eek!”
}
\score
{
\new Staff = "Staff_voice"
<<
\new Voice = "Voice_vocal" \melody
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "Voice_vocal" \words
>>
}
melodyHacked = \relative
{
c8-\tweak #'transparent ##t ( d e f) g4. f8 | e1
}
wordsHacked = \lyricmode
{
\once \override LyricText #'extra-offset = #'(-1 . 0) "On
Thanksgiving"2
\override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #-0.7 screeched we,
\revert LyricText #'self-alignment-X “Eek!”
}
\score
{
\new Staff = "Staff_voice"
<<
\new Voice = "Voice_vocal" \melodyHacked
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "Voice_vocal" \wordsHacked
>>
}
Anyone see a (relatively simple) way to implement such an
auto-spacing/auto-adjusting feature?
If so, would it be Frog-able (i.e., without me learning C++)?
Thanks,
Kieren.
