But there's an issue: a melisma isn't always entirely tied in a beam (look at 
the example in my previous post, the "Ma - - -" beaming breaks every beat ).
Anyway, think to a song with many 8th syllabes and many melismas (i.e. 
renaissance polyphony), it would be very tricky to manage the thing in the 
voice context, while the easier way should be to insert notes without specify 
beaming (and melismatas), add lyrics with dashes ( "In vo -- ci -- fe -- ra - 
ti -- o -- _ _ ne") and apply the new rule 'break the beam before each new 
syllable' to automatic beaming. 
Could it be possible?

Thanks
