Point taken.  Is request for new features more appropriate for the -user
list?

The nice thing about lyricsto is that it centers the word around its
corresponding note.  When I first began doing lyrics I used the
technique mentioned in themail you quoted above.  The results were ugly.
The word began directly beneath the related note instead of being nicely
centered beneath it.

The email I was referring to can be found here; it clearly describes the
problem with using \partcombine and \lyricsto together.

I replied on this list because it is a reply to the above URL, which was
a post on this list.  I would like to know what became of the work
mentioned in that post.  Was anything like it incorporated in lilypond
since then?
