Colin, please **don't** use explicit lyrics timing.  Alignment of
unassociated lyrics (i.e. lyrics that don't use \addlyrics/\lyricsto)
is broken, and such scores would look ugly and unprofessional.

David, i apologize for butting in like that, but i believe that we
shouldn't advocate using features that are broken.

I wrote a patch fixing this issue back in March (it's a part of
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3239), but it was
put on hold.  Now that 2.18 is out, i'd like to get back to it - if
i'll have time...

best,
Janek
