The below example displays a barcheck error.

Erik says:

You should currently view barchecks as something you place before syllables.
With this way of viewing it, the barcheck before the third ah is naturally
aligned to the middle of the second bar.

However, it might be bad to rely on this interpretation, because we may want
to change it later. I'd recommend you to only place barchecks where the
melody has notes immediately before and after the barline.

One way to fix behaviour (and make it do what people expect) may be to make
lyricsto listen to barchecks in the melody, and align those to any matching
barchecks in the lyrics.

  { f2 f2 | r2 f2 | }
  \addlyrics
  { ah ah | ah | }

not a bug. We're not choosing for a definite interpretation, until we have a good
reason to choose one over another.

I didn't say it was a bug; I said it was an enhancement.  It's a feature request to
pick on definite interpretation.  I don't mind if this remains a request for the next
five years, but it's good to have it "on the books".

Thanks for picking this up David.  Sorry for the noise. 

I'm adding this comment to include the phrases "bar checks" and "bar check" to improve the chance it might be found next time someone trips over it.
