Maybe bug? Lyrics on a tied note at end of system

[James Harkins]

I ran into the attached spacing problem while typesetting a lead sheet. I can't make a minimal example right this second; will try in the next couple of days.

When a tied note has a lyric syllable, LP (2.16.1) left aligns the syllable to the note, on the assumption that tied-to note column will occupy horizontal space and give the syllable space to extend to the right of the note under which it appears. Makes sense -- that's a good refinement.

However, the same thing happens at the end of a system, forcing the note column far to the left of where I would expect it to appear.

I searched the bug tracker but didn't see anything relevant.

Thanks,
