That overlap (seen only with tight spacing) bothers me as well.

The re-fix to lyrics spacing under melismata put the clearance over bar lines 
/almost/ back to what it was in 2.12.3, but one regtest with lyrics passing 
close to a bar line broke if I increased the clearance any more (without doing 
extreme things to lyrics).

This is noted as part of issue 1229. I hope we can just increase the clearance 
around all things in 'non-musical' columns.  We would need to adjust a couple 
reg tests to accommodate this, but still test what we really care about.
