New issue 2452 by address@hidden: consonant prepositions in Lyrics  
should be placed to the left of the note
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2452

In some languages (Polish, for example) there are words consisting of  
consonants only (mostly prepositions, for example 'z' (with)).  Obviously,  
one cannot sing (with a pitched voice) something that is not sonorant; if  
such words appear in Lyrics, they are treated as part of the next word and  
typeset together with it (i.e. "z_nim" as one syllabe).  However, care must  
be taken to not place these words directly below their respective notes, to  
avoid confusion - this is especially visible in melismas, as Lyrics are  
left-aligned in melismas.  Current Lily behavior results in ambiguities in  
this area.

Therefore i suggest that lyric syllabes starting with a single consonant  
word should be moved to the left - see attachment.
