      \override LeftEdge #'extra-spacing-height = #'(-inf.0 . +inf.0)
      %workaround% \override LeftEdge #'Y-extent =  #'(0 . 0)
    } } }

used to push the lyrics after the overrides 8 spaces right of the LeftEdge, so the starts of the words would lie along a vertical line on the page.

At some point in the 2.17.x series the commented additional override became required.

For some reason, Bar_number_engraver must be removed for the technique to work, in any version.   If modify the technique to give the extra-spacing-height to Clef, rather than LeftEdge, it works with bar-numbers present.
