	Horizontal alignment for lyrics can be set by overriding the <code>self-alignment-X</code> property of the <code>LyricText</code> object. Value  -1 means left-aligned, 0 centered, and 1 right-aligned. Alternatively, you can use the Scheme values <code>LEFT</code>, <code>CENTER</code>, and <code>RIGHT</code> instead of numbers.
