Automatic lengthening of Lyrics extenders

[Michael Gerdau]

Dear lilyponders,

in vocal music especially multipart music lyrics extenders do greatly enhance 
readability how stuff is sung. Especially for long notes extenders come in 
handy - so far this is probably well established and not exactly new :)

This all works reasonably good for tied and slurred music. However when there 
is a long note (e.g. full, or breve or such) the current situation leaves room 
for improvement (to my knowledge).
