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{song}{
title = {What shall we do (Drunken Sailor)},
}
% Eines der ältesten bekannten Shanties. Häufig wurden solche Shanties von
% Matrosen auf großen Schiffen gesungen, um rhythmische Arbeitsabläufe zu
% koordinieren - etwa beim Segelsetzen, wenn viele Männer gemeinsame „Hoo-
% Ray“ das Seil ziehen mussten. Es gibt noch unzählige weitere Strophen, die
% im Laufe der Zeit hinzugedichtet wurden. [Quelle: Codex]
