Hi David(s),

There's no question it doesn’t handle UTF-8 sensibly: I had to avoid using it 
for a score a few weeks ago in which I was using a Ukrainian glyph ("backwards 
R").

I would very much appreciate it if Lilypond — via snippet or "base code" — had 
an option to automagically centre lyrics on the "letter" portions (which may 
change with language/alphabet, I suppose).

Best,
Kieren.
