Requested feature description:
The lyrics are entered directly on screen. Once the lyric text has been entered, you can then just switch the display to view mode - to show precisely how the score will be printed out, which is virtually as shown in lyric edit mode.
However the lyrics in this "view mode" are displayed as a line, so that the positioning of each individual word although nearest to the x_ratio set up has to ultimately be set to an accuracy +/- half a whitespace. Consequently it is suggested that a facility for a final horizontal alignment of each word in view mode is incorporated.

Best illustrated by an example

"The cat sat on the mat"

Here the spacing between each word is:

Spaces between "The" and "cat" 8
Spaces between "cat" and "sat" 12
Spaces between "sat" and "on" 3
Spaces between "on" and "the" 5
Spaces between "the" and "mat" 10

Consequently for display mode the alignment of the start of each word whilst accurate can never have the degree of precision when it comes to aligning notation or symbols.

The enhancement: Include the facility where in "view" mode you may drag each individual word for precision alignment. This is an operation that would be typically undertaken on finalising the score.
