Behaviour changed between 2.19.8 and 2.19.9.

    Issue 3254: align unassociated lyrics using NoteColumn extent.

    This makes unassociated lyrics behave consistently with
    associated lyrics.  Until now, "standalone" lyrics
    were left-aligned (more precisely: their X-offset was 0);
    changing self-alignment-X didn't have any effect on them.
    Now it's possible to specify their alignment, like with
    associated lyrics.

    Also, this changes how issue 104 was resolved (see 0b14e8b2e122d) -
    alignment of syllables that are associated to a context without
    noteheads is no longer aborted - and solves issue 247.

    Later on, these changes should allow using aligned_on_parent for
    other grobs (such as DynamicTexts).

    Expected changes in output: all lyrics should be centered by default.


Looks like a good candidate.

Adding

\layout {
  \context {
    \Lyrics
    \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT
  }
}

seems to restore previous state.

Cheers,
