New issue 2460 by address@hidden: StaffGroup barlines should be  
whited-out to allow better Lyrics placement
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2460

Long lyric syllabes sometimes collide with barlines connecting staves.   
Currently Lily tries to avoid this by moving notes with Lyrics away from  
the barline.  This isn't an optimal solution, because it distorts rhythmic  
placement of notes.

I suggest that such situations should be handled in the following way:
- if the overlap with barline is small (less than 1 staffspace?), try  
moving the syllabe alone away from the barline (as discussed in "Lyrics  
shouldn't distort rhythmical placement of notes")
- if the overlap is bigger or its impossible to move the syllabe, a  
white-out should be used
