Two suggestions:
(1) Try to put the verse in a minipage (Box), then center the box or use
an Hfill before it.
(2) Only if that fails, try something like
\setlength{\unitlength}{1cm}
\begin{picture}(width, height)
\put(x_coord,y_coord){\makebox(x_dim,y_dim)[position]{My verse.}}
\end{picture}
in ERT and replace the measures with useful numbers. "position" refers
to the text's position in the box and can be l,r,b and so on. For
example rb will give you text that is aligned with the right and bottom
side of the makebox.
I'm not sure if that works with \verse, though.
Cheers,

Hello again,
How could I shift the left edge (margin?) of the verse environment
across to the right? I would like to have it further across the page.
I'm not sure what class is the best for setting verse. Memoir seems to
work, but each poem is oddly staggered left and right.
Ideally, I want:
1. Poems and titles (which appear in toc) centered on page, left
aligned to a set margin.
2. The option to center-align some poems (so they are symetrical) -
but still central to poems above and below it.
3. The option to stagger lines (using hspace maybe) for interesting layouts.
Please give me a hand. I am thinking that OpenOffice might be the way
to go, but I don't want that kind of pain!
