Default Lyrics - align left for chant lyrics

Sherrie

I am putting in Dylan Thomas' "Sunset Poem" which is set to an Anglican chant (Troyte No 1). Therefore is has a phrase of lyrics (multiple syllables) on the first long note of each section and because the length of the phrase is different for each verse, the centred alignment of lyrics is a bit distracting.

I cannot see that there is any way of changing the alignment of lyrics so that they are left aligned relative to the note so I guess I must add space to the beginning or end of each phrase so they are better aligned? Or is there another way?

Thanks
Tim
