Hey Thanks, when I first read the manual I thought Lilypond's symbol to spread or center a lyric between two note values was the double underscore. No matter how I placed or spaced it this naturally didn't work. Now I see from playing with your example that the slur does do the job in this case. In the case of a slur or melisma I take it that the lyric starts at the first note value. Is there any other simple way to center a lyric between two note values?
