It seems to get worse and worse ...
With the latest iTunes 12.5.3 not all lyrics (which now are marked as "custom lyrics") are synced to the iPhone. Many are, some are not ...
Some songs spontaneously got the lyrics "{{instrumental}}" ... ??? ...
Un-ticking a song used to delete it from the iPhone with the next sync (with the corresponding option set to true) -- but that does not happen any more, all songs seem to stay on the device ...
(I do not use Apple Music, nor iTunes Match)

iTunes Match (iCloud) support with iOS 6
In the next version of SmartPlaylist you will be able to filter songs by their iCloud status:
"no ☁" --> select only songs which are actually stored on your device
"only ☁" --> select only songs which are in the cloud (but not downloaded to your device)
"All" --> well, all.
If you don't use iTunes Match (like myself) you can simply hide this rule in Settings.
"☁" is also displayed in the list and detail view for songs, which are in the cloud.
Note: This feature will only be available with iOS 6.

Search in lyrics, read lyrics
Finally. I have found a way to search for songs by looking for search patterns in their lyrics!
Examples:
Lyrics contain "slavery AND cruel"
Lyrics like "* neighb*r *"
As usual, you can combine this with any other rule in SmartPlaylist.
And as usual, you can copy from the lyrics to paste into mails, messages or notes.
This works only for songs actually stored on the device (it doesn't work for songs in the cloud of iTunes Match). For certain protected songs (DRM) it might also not work.
The lyrics must be stored inside the song (you can do that in iTunes) --- SmartPlaylist will not look up lyrics for you in the internet.
