Checking to make sure lyrics or markup are within the margins is a big 
computational task (I think it adds 5-10% to compiling a file).  To 
turn it on, use

    \override Score.PaperColumn #'keep-inside-line = ##t

(I know this works for markup; it should work for lyrics as well)

happen this weekend.
