David,
This is amazing. I was able to drop this into my own project without any
trouble except changing the lyrics context command to reflect me using 2.16
instead of 2.17. Kudos.
Cheers,

Hi Gregory,
Here's another version which will automatically find the longest syllable.
You can tag any one of the lyric syllables at a given timestep.
Noticed a problem. Corrected file attached.

I'm not in a position to test this at the moment, but just for
confirmation, will this work with an arbitrary number of tagged syllables
through a Lyrics context?
ex:
tagIt = \once \override Lyrics.LyricText #'tagged = ##t

Well, comparing the lengths of strings is a bit shortsighted, as all
four-letter words don't occupy the same space... Revised to work with
stencil sizes, as David Kastrup suggests earlier in this thread.
Argh.

Indeed, many thanks, I did not expect that the solution would be so

-1 is the same as LEFT
Okay, I did not read the manual carefully enough (again). I know and see
that you put much effort in it, but please

So the lyrics are supposed to be aligned as a block first which is then
centered on the note.
Exactly.
I think that the current machinery is rather working by aligning
everything independently to the note in question.
Indeed.
That would place the prealignment of the lyrics into

Just thinking about some of the stuff I've been working on.
Would it be possible to pass the lyrics to Scheme as a list of lists (a
list of verses, with each verse a list of words), so that for each syllable
placement it could look at the nth item of each list and determine correct
placement.
