Thanks for taking a look at this.
I thought about inserting invisible bar lines to allow more natural
breaking on long strings of lyric text. But for that to look right,
there would need to be a way to optionally re-print the reciting tone
at the beginning of the new line. I don't know if that is possible.
I also thought of forcing a break after every phrase, but that
spreads the music out too much over more pages.
It looks like abandoning the \set stanza in favor of the text \markup
addresses the horizontal collision problem. I just need to figure
out how to get the reciting note to align with the first lyric text.

I'm wondering if you couldn't avoid this by adding bar lines to the
lyrics context and making them invisible. This _might_ make the lyrics
dodge them automatically (though I make no guarantees). In practice,
I've just left multiple syllable lyrics centered at the end of a
phrase (not the beginning), and I think usually under a note of longer
value (whole or even breve).
