Text-Align

[Henrik Evers]

Hi,

I like to have some text below one note. And I can't find any hint in the 
documentation. It goes into the direction of melismas, but I only have one 
note or one chord and lots of text to sing on this chord - so it's the 
opposite of a melisma. It seems to be impossible for me after two days of 
studying lilypond to find a solution. Please help ;-) The text should start 
aligned with the first chord, not centered, because ther're lots of words.

If there's any idea, please let me know. Here's my score:
