Lyrics alignment

Horizontal alignment for lyrics can be set by overriding the self-alignment-X property of the LyricText object. Value  -1 means left-aligned, 0 centered, and 1 right-aligned. Alternatively, you can use the Scheme values LEFT, CENTER, and RIGHT instead of numbers. Other numeric values are possible, too – don't forget to add the # Scheme prefix for negative numbers!
