Description
Issue type
Engraving bug (incorrect score rendering)
Description with steps to reproduce
Lyrics extender sometimes extends beyond its place into the next text.
Put down three notes, where we want the first word to extend the first two notes, and the second word of lyrics to start on the third note. Putting in an extender "_" on the middle note usually works fine, but sometimes, after either saving the file or editing a different note, the extender changes size, becoming so long that it overlaps the second word of lyrics, on the third note.
