Hi Jiri,
I've attached a hint on how to do it manually.
If you need an automated process, perhaps someone on the list will
take you up on your sponsorship offer.
Hope this helps!
Kieren.
\version "2.12"
\paper { ragged-right = ##f }
lyricX =
#(define-music-function (parser location saX) (number?)
#{
\once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = $saX
#})
theNotes = \relative
{
g a b c | d c b a | g1
}
theLyrics = \lyricmode
{
\lyricX #-0.9 Each syl -- \lyricX #0.2 la -- ble’s \lyricX #-0.5
vowel \lyricX #-1.8 is \lyricX #-1 on \lyricX #1 the \lyricX #-0.4 note.
}
\score
{

\new Voice = "melody" \theNotes
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" \theLyrics
>>
}
