event-lyric-line should include a word extension object #484

Description

@rpatters1

The event-lyric-line object should include an optional wordExtension object that specifies the measure-rhythmic-position of the end of the word extension. We cannot expect consumers to infer this. Indeed, I don't think we want them too. Specifically, MuseScore has to be told the span of a word extension or it won't draw them.

Exporters almost certainly know the extent of word extensions. It would be much better to let them specify it than rely on each importer to figure it out in a different way.

It would be helpful to have a lyrics example with a word extension. This would illustrate the issue.
