The ones I considered problematically aligned were the slurred notes. 
The left align takes all the non-slurred notes and moves them into the
same, unpleasing position as the slurred ones. 

That it is uniform is better, but this is a very non-ideal fix. 
For example, at places where words are attached to sixteenth notes at 
the very end of bars, the word just hovers over the barline, and it
does not look good at all. 

Is there a way to force slurred notes into the center position, 
where the other notes are?
