When a melisma ends with a relatively short note, or the next syllabe after the melisma is very long, the next syllabe slides under the previous note.  Sometimes this can lead to nasty ambiguities.

I suggest that the left edge of a syllabe should be placed no "earlier" than halfway between the note to which it belongs and the previous note.  In some special circumstances this can be changed, but never a syllabe should start before previous note ended.
