Lyric alignment within ligatures

[Michael Käppler]

Hi all,
I recently noticed that ligatures are not automatically noticed as a 
melismatic section. That means, I always have to
use the syntax: \[ bla \melisma bla \melismaEnd \]
However, I would consider ligatures to be melismatic in >any< case. 
What's your point?

Regards,
Michael
