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{D}Come by the \chord{G}hills to the \chord{D}land / where \chord{G}fancy is \chord{D}free. \\
D G fis \\
And stand where the peaks meet the sky / and the \\
\chord{e}loughs meet the \chord{A}sea / where the \chord{D}rivers run \chord{D7}clear and \\
the \chord{G}bracken is \chord{D}gold in the \chord{A}sun. \\
Ref.: \\
And the \chord{h}cares of \chord{G}tomorrow must \chord{D}wait \\
until \chord{G}this day is \chord{A}done.
\end{verse}
\begin{verse}
Come by the hills to the land \\
where life is a song. \\
And sing while the birds fill the air \\
with there joy all day long. \\
Where the trees sway in time \\
and even the wind blows in tune
\end{verse}
\begin{verse}
Come by the hills to the land \\
where legends remain. \\
Where the stories of old fill the hearts \\
and may yet come again. \\
Where our past have been lost \\
and the future is still to be won.
\end{verse}
\end{song}
