I have added code to 1.9CVS, which lets you switch what determines the
melismata.

Actually, the lyric alignment code was contributed by Glen Prideaux,
who since disappeared off the face of the earth. Unfortunately, what
he contributed was not very good: the code does a lot of formatting
where it shouldn't (during "interpreting"), and it gets all the
alignment wrong: putting the vowel under the note head is the standard
convention, and I don't know what lily does, but doesn't look good.
