After
https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/4685/
has been pushed markup->string should have wider usability

Thus I made a new version of the `align-to-melisma-engraver' using
string-comparison first, stencils as fall-back.

Please test.

In the attached image you'll find the two occurrences of "double-two"
not perfectly aligned, because one is bold-italic, same will happen if
you use different fonts or different LyricText.font-size for each
Lyrics.
I think this is like it should be, what do you think?

Cheers,
