You can fix this problem by adding this context setting:
\layout { \context { \Score \override PaperColumn #'keep-inside-line = ##t }
}
That seems to work in both your examples. There is a more subtle problem,
though, with lyric extender lines, which stick out beyond the break (and
even into t
Try this:
\version "2.8.1"
\paper {
ragged-right = ##t
}
music = \relative c'' {
\time 2/4 g8 g8 g8 \bar "" \break g8
}
words = \lyricmode {
La la "tra la la la la la la la la la I can't hear you la la la la la " la
}
\score {
\context Staff <<
\context Voice = one \music
\cont
