I was musing over what makes sense doing here.  One could omit both bar
check and length check from sections only having lyric events of the
same duration or some heuristic like that.  But there are also skips in
lyrics which need to get written with explicit duration so that's still
not likely to fully do the trick.

For the bar check, the best solution would be to make them work better
in lyricsto-like contexts.  "Better" would likely mean making sure they
are not separated by a full syllable from the closest measure boundary.
No idea whether that is feasible but it would be sort-of unrelated to
parallelMusic.
