Comment #19 on issue 4022 by address@hidden: Patch: Allow specifying  
different alignment for grob and its parent
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4022

Having separate properties indeed makes sense.  Let me just say why I have  
favored one property: I wanted to make it simple to change both alignments  
to the same number, and I wanted to maintain backward compatibility in case  
of Lyrics.  For example, if we have

{ d'1 }
\addlyrics { laaaa }

both default alignments are CENTER.  If the user writes \override  
LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT, he gets a left-aligned syllable (like  
in melismas).  If we have two separate properties, \override  
LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT will have different (and probably quite  
surprising) output than now.

Do you have some idea on how we could mitigate these problems?
