To have the lyrics with the voice on the staff, the appropriate
syllable could be printed immediately before or after the note
on the same line or space.  You could manage that by coding the
lyrics as if they were fingering.

I have never seen music printed that way, and I have high hopes
that I never will see it.

Instead, it is more appropriate to print each line of lyrics as
if it were a voice, on what might be called a lyrics staff, the way it 
is done now.  Couldn't it be simpler to do vertical spacing if the
group of lyrics lines were considered a type of staff?

Shouldn't the syllables have leading or trailing spaces in the midi
file?  Is this related to the problem of syllables sometimes being too 
close to bars?  daveA
