When a word at the end of a line would run off the page, it is normally shifted
left to avoid this. However, when that word also is extended with a melisma,
Lilypond follows the melisma behavior, which is to left-align the word with the
note, causing it to run off the page.
The following code fragment should show clearly what I mean:
\version "2.11.27"
\score {
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Voice = "abc" {
\relative c'' {
c4( c4) c4 c4
\break
c2. c4(
\break
c4) c4 c2
}}
\new Lyrics {
\lyricsto "abc" {
foo __ bar really-long-word-at-the-end-of-a-line
baz really-really-long-word-at-the-end-of-a-line __
quux quuux
}}>>}
