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.
