Thank you, just what I was looking for.
One thing I don't understand about this (and some other examples and 
templates in the manuals). Why "\new Staff = upper {...}" and "\new 
Staff = lower {...}" ? I use just "\new Staff {...}" with the same 
results. I can understand why this template needs " \new Voice = 
"singer" (for the \lyricsto stuff in the next line)
"
I want to learn and not only use the templates but also 
understand what I'm doing. Maybe some %comment lines should be added to 
the templates in the learning manual ? (Not too much, just enough :-)

Templates make Lilypond life a lot easier. Is there a place where I can 
find the templates from the manual as separate files ? Copying and 
pasting from the text in my webbrowser to my editor or typing it by hand 
is not the most comfortable way to work with. Just loading a file named 
piano-centered-lyrics.ly in my editor would be much easier.

But thanks anyway. I have it working now.
