I did try that command in looking at what was going on, and it made no 
difference - I think \textLengthOff is Off by default, in any case.

As I said in my reply, the way the text/notes are laid out appears to be a 
by-product of the command \override SpacingSpanner #'packed-spacing = ##t in 
the gregorian.ly file.  I cured the problem for Michael by putting 

\override SpacingSpanner #'packed-spacing = ##f

in the Global block.

I guess the packed-spacing command shouldn't have this by-product?

    With the following file, I want to begin adding text expressions above the 
music. While I understand the basics, I am faltering on how to get the 
expressions exactly how I want them. E.g. I want the following phrase: 
^\markup{\italic  
        ''Blessed is the Kingdom ... ''} to be aligned above the 1st measure of 
music, but evenly space, not shifting the music or notes any at all. How, can I 
accomplish this?

  I think the \textLengthOff command does this.
