Incidentally I see that one of the regression tests produces the same 
error message that I get when I'm running my complete file:

"warning: programming error: Spanner `LyricExtender' is not fully 
contained in parent spanner. Ignoring orphaned part"

I guess the question is how to contain the LyricExtender in a parent 
without adding more lyrics after it.


here's the code from file "spanner-break-beyond-parent.ly"

\header { texidoc = "Spanners parts that extend beyond their parents
  are killed in case of line breaks."

  }

\version "2.11.51"

\paper { ragged-bottom = ##t }

\new Staff {
  c1 \break c1
}
\addlyrics {  welt __ }
