Text alignment under reciting tone

[Hugh]

Dear All: 

This may be a n00b question, but here goes. I'm trying to format a 
chant with several stanzas under one chant. The lyrics underneath the 
reciting tone (in this case a b-flat) insist on center-aligning 
themselves, despite all of my \left-aligns to the contrary. This gives 
the text a "christmas-tree" effect. I assume that the problem is in 
the lyrics context, but I am completely at a loss as to how to fix it, 
and the the documentation has no leads. 


Thanks for any help you can give.
