If you insist on keeping the barlines between the staves, then you
need to perform an independent calculation for the first syllable
in each measure, probably in scheme. I can't foresee LP ever
supporting this criterion for lyrics placement.
There are snippets in the repository which involve aligning lyrics,
and these might help you see what's involved in these calculations.
Alternatively, you could have some "potted" definitions for a
sequence of lyric sizes (\threechar, \fivechar, sevenchar,…) and
insert them into your music manually.
Cheers,
David.
