New issue 2453 by address@hidden: long syllabes shouldn't be  
centered under notes
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2453

I suggest that long lyric syllabes shouldn't begin further than 2 or 3  
staffspaces to the left of the note, i.e. they shouldn't be centered  
(unless user explicitly specifies alignment).

See examples from engraved scores:

In addition to aesthetically better results, this would allow automatic  
placement of long recitatives sung to one note - currently user has to  
manually override lyric alignment each time such situation occurs.
