Summary: Shouldn't simultaneous syllables be aligned across voices?
Comment #1 on issue 2457 by address@hidden: Shouldn't simultaneous
syllables be aligned across voices?

Gould again, page 439: "Some editions place all syllables consistently to
the left of the note, but, in general, this is not helpful."
She (and I) say that it might look better, but I don't believe it would be
in any way helpful to a singer. Left aligned == melisma to me, and if it's
not, I'm gonna get confused. When I'm checking what other voices are
singing, I look for their notes, not their words - in early songs, the
words go on for so long you can't check for them!
I could accept cheating the word to the right a bit, but not left aligned.
