You can try the following:
\relative c'' {
\autoBeamOff
c8. a16 f4
} \addlyrics {
\tweak self-alignment-X #RIGHT \markup le --
\tweak self-alignment-X #CENTER \markup bens --
\tweak self-alignment-X #LEFT \markup satt
}
Note that #LEFT is the same as #-1 and #RIGHT the same as #1 and you can
also use any value in between to get more subtle results. Or even
beyond the range of -1..1 in order to get less subtle results.
I apologize for the necessity of using \markup in connection with \tweak
here. We haven't yet found an amicable compromise avoiding this
nuisance.
