still lyrics

[Werner LEMBERG]

More bugs/problems with lyrics:

  . Why can I say e.g.

      \property Voice.TextScript \set #'font-shape = #'italic

    and why can't I say

      \property Lyrics.LyricText \override #'alignment = #0

    but have to use `Lyrics . LyricText' (note the spaces before and
    after the dot)?

    This is *very* counter-intuitive for the user.

  . How can I move the lyrics line nearer to the voice staff?  I
    checked the documentation (which is, hmm, difficult to understand
    if someone wants to modify certain properties), but I couldn't
    found a hint.

  . Using the `alignment' property causes the following warning
    message:

      programming error: No StaffSpacing wishes found
                         (Continuing; cross thumbs)

  . Playing with the `alignment' property, I expect that text is
    always centered below the corresponding notes for value 0.  But it
    isn't in all cases!  Why not?  This looks like a bug.  See
    attached image.
