Hey,
I have recently installed Lyx 1.5.1 for windows from here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Windows. All of the window fonts are blurry. A
screen shot can be found here: http://lynet.ca/~alumb/lyx.bmp. How do you change
the font used by Lyx for widgets? is it possible to turn anti-aliasing off?

Two suggestions:
(1) Try to put the verse in a minipage (Box), then center the box or use
an Hfill before it.
(2) Only if that fails, try something like
\setlength{\unitlength}{1cm}
\begin{picture}(width, height)
\put(x_coord,y_coord){\makebox(x_dim,y_dim)[position]{My verse.}}

I'm not sure what class is the best for setting verse. Memoir seems to
