Lyrics alignment
This is line one of the first verse
This is line two of the same
And here's line three of the first verse
And the last line of the same
Horizontal alignment for lyrics can be set by overriding the self-alignment-X property of the
LyricText object. #-1 is left, #0 is center and #1 is right; however, you can use #LEFT, #CENTER
and #RIGHT as well.
\layout { ragged-right = ##f }
\relative c'' {
c1

}
\addlyrics {
\once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT
"This is left-aligned"
\once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #CENTER
"This is centered"
\once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #1
"This is right-aligned"
}
This is left-aligned
This is centered
This is right-aligned
