I agree. For symmetry I should use lyricmode and lyricsto, but this
forces to give a name to the voice and the code becomes much longer.
Once coded this way, durations of syllables are no longer necessary. I
find there is not an elegant way of adding lyrics correctly besides
\addlyrics. Maybe a default mapping of lyrics with the nearest voice
could substitute lyricsto and get the syllables centered, I don't
know.

\new Lyrics \lyricsto "twinkle" \lyricmode { twin -- kle twin --
kle lit -- tle star }
