You can also say #LEFT, #CENTER and #RIGHT instead of #-1, #0 and #1,
respectively, if you find that easier to remember.

Hi
After a preliminary fix for my problem with lyrics chanted to a
single note (thank you, Mats and Arthur), and some extremely
determined messing around, I have discovered:
______________________________________
\version "2.6.0"
\relative c'' {\key f \major \set Score.timing = ##f
c1 f,4 bes a \bar "|" g e f8 e f1}
\addlyrics {\once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #-1 "All
these words are placed properly under one note," while these ones are
set nor -- mal -- ly. }
_______________________________________
Placing the prefix \once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #-1
before a lyric word causes Lilypond to left-align that lyric with its
note. Change the #-1 to a #1 and it will be right-aligned; use #0 for
centred (which is the default). #-0.8 is most of the way to being
left-aligned, etc. Hope this helps someone.
David
