Another problem with that snippet is the amount to drop. With a good centering command, it is centered. But if I alter the font size, etc, the amount of raising and dropping needed to center the lyrics will alter. How can I predict that without a lot of kludgy code? Again, I'm generating lilypond code from templates. I can compensate for some complexity, but the simpler the better.
