Dave,
Thanks for the quick reply. I have two other computers in the house that
have Windows on them (I run a home-based computer support business), so I
can use Sibelius on them if I have to...but I would rather switch to
Lilypond.
A very wise choice indeed. The place to start reading for lyrics is:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Vocal-music#Vocal-music
Lilypond's default spacing and alignment for lyrics is better than
Finale and co., as described here

Using Lilypond's \override, \set or \tweak commands, either on their
own, or with \once, gives you complete control over where things go on
your page.
By the way, my download link didn't seem to transfer properly.
The file is on my website: http://www.practicatechnical.com. Type that in
the browser address field and add /files/flowers.pdf.
Just put the whole link in and send as plain text -- most mail clients
realise it's a URL, and will take you straight there.
