Problem is that it's a half-finished improvement so far which is why it
has not been documented.  \addlyrics and \lyricsto can now attach to
non-Bottom contexts but they cannot yet distinguish melismata from
various bottoms, so a melisma in one bottom context will tape together
syllables in the others.  That's not supposed to be the final state.

Which is why there is no documentation.

Not very satisfactory so far.
