If you want a syllable (in your case "a sequence of words combine into a
syllable")
left aligned under a note instead of centered, you can insert a
\once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT
just before the syllable. Of course, if you want to do it often, you
probably
want to define a macro like
leftaligned = \once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT
and just write \leftaligned before a syllable you want left aligned.

I found a solution. I put the first word of the string under a regular note
and then the remainder of the string under a hidden note. Works very nicely.

I am using 2.6.4 on Linux Mandrake 10.1. Upon occasion I have a series of
words sung to one note in free time. When that note is in the middle of a
bar, the lyrics center themselves nicely under that note. However, when
the note is the first note of a line, the lyrics extend past the left side
of the stave. Is there a way to correct that?
