The engraver in this snippet provides an alternate implementation to circumvent this limitation; it uses spanner IDs to specify start and end of overlapping text spanners. To use it, replace <code>Text_spanner_engraver</code> with <code>\alternateTextSpannerEngraver</code>. The example below demonstrates two possible ways to specify a spanner ID: either define a new com...")

But you may find that LilyPond positions the start or end points of some slurs incorrectly. By setting <code>\override NoteHead.stem-attachment = #'(0 . 0)</code> you can move the stem attachment point to the center of the note head, which results in better slur positioning for stemless note heads.

Longer lyric items will appear to “spill across” bar lines.
