Zoinks, well I apologise that my model-picking is so dreadful. 

I have an idea of what I want to see on the page, found one instance of that
in this piece, and would like that to be the way my piece is set. And I find 
it difficult to believe given all the individual alterations one can do in
lilypond that this is impossible to change. 

Is there no way whatsoever to force a center alignment to the first note of 
a multi-note syllable?
