If this is the only thing that doesn't work, the situation is not bad
:)  Please try using LyrAlignTest context as defined below - this
should make lyrics respect the tie - and let us know whether there are
any other issues (apart from the melisma not being left-aligned, which
I've already noticed).

best,
Janek

\version "2.19.10"

\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    \accepts "LyrAlignTest"
  }

  \context {
    \name "LyrAlignTest"
    \type "Engraver_group"

    \alias "Staff"
    \alias "Voice"

    \description "Something between NullVoice and Devnull."

    % needed to handle melismas:
    \consists "Note_heads_engraver"
    \consists "Tie_engraver"
    \consists "Beam_engraver"
    \consists "Slur_engraver"
    \omit Tie
    \omit NoteHead

notes = \relative c'' {
  c4~ c c c

words = \lyricmode {
