Re: Staff doesn't extend to cover lyrics at line breaks

[Colin Wilding]

You can fix this problem by adding this context setting:

\layout { \context { \Score \override PaperColumn #'keep-inside-line = ##t }
}

That seems to work in both your examples.  There is a more subtle problem,
though, with lyric extender lines, which stick out beyond the break (and
even into the margin when ragged-right is off) even with the above setting. 
As in this version of your example:

\version "2.8.1"

\paper {
  ragged-right = ##f
}
\layout { \context { \Score \override PaperColumn #'keep-inside-line = ##t }
}

music = \relative c'' {
  \time 2/4 g8 g8 g8~ \bar "" \break g8
}

words = \lyricmode {
  La la "tra la la la la la la la la la I can't hear you la la la la la " __
la
}

\score {
  \context Staff <<
    \context Voice = one \music
    \context Lyrics \lyricsto one \words
    >>
} 

I have a workaround for that (involving adding hidden markup text) if anyone
is interested.  I would have thought, though, that keep-inside-line should
work with the extension lines as well as with everything else, so perhaps
this should count as a bug.
