Hymn Template & Align Composer

[Rob V]

Here's a simple hymn template I made for myself starting from the SATB 
template.  I hope it helps.

I start a refrain on a new staff to get it centered, but that was when I was 
using \addlyrics.  I didn't get it working yet using \lyricsto.

I've also added the lines I use to right-align my composer and date.
