shahondin1624 7b99778f67 Fix chord alignment: snap to word boundaries
Improve merge_chord_lyric() to snap chord positions to the start
of the word they fall within, instead of splitting words mid-way.
Fixes artifacts like "Liebespaar \chord{C}e" → "\chord{C}Liebespaare".

\begin{verse}
\chord{a}No you wont get me down underground in your \chord{G}mines, \\
\chord{F}Away from the \chord{C}trees and the \chord{G}flowers so \chord{C}fine. \\
\chord{F}Down in the \chord{C}dark where the \chord{G}sun never \chord{E7}shines. \\
No you \chord{a}wont get me \chord{G}down in your \chord{a}mines.
\end{verse}
\begin{verse}
They work in the dark for the most of their lives, \\
Away from the children, away from their wives. \\
To make others rich, in the heat and the dark. \\
But whos going to care when youre too old to work?
\end{verse}
\begin{verse}
Theres many a miner has died underground. \\
Died all alone when the roof tumbled down. \\
Or choked out his life underneath the great beams. \\
Or buried and gassed in that lousy coal-seam.
\end{verse}
\begin{verse}
Ive worked in your factories, Ive worked on your farms, \\
Until all the muscles stood out on my arms \\
Ive been in your armies and Ive been out to sea. \\
But by Christ you wont make a coal-miner of me.
\end{verse}
