Thanks, Colin, for taking the matter up. Without wishing to labor the point unnecessarily, just to point out that your example does not in fact typeset properly, in that the "-son" syllable at the end is missing. I guess it is still waiting for its own note(s) to hang onto, since the two melismas have, in effect, been combined into one, and get associated with the "-i-" syllable. Lily is reacting sensibly when she encounters this input, but the result points to the fact that it may not make much sense to contemplate a situation in which one melisma starts on the last note of a previous one. (Unless, as I said, I've missed something -- a possibility for which I could find ample precedent!)
