New issue 2454 by address@hidden: lyric syllabes shouldn't slide  
under preceeding notes
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2454

When a melisma ends with a relatively short note, or the next syllabe after  
the melisma is very long, the next syllabe slides under the previous note.   
Sometimes this can lead to nasty ambiguities.

I suggest that the left edge of a syllabe should be placed no "earlier"  
than halfway between the note to which it belongs and the previous note.   
In some special circumstances this can be changed, but never a syllabe  
should start before previous note ended.
