I posted a comment about this issue a while back, but it seems that it
was drowned out by other bug updates.
The issue is that when underscores are used to extend a melisma, the
extender line does not continue over the melisma as it should. Here's
what I wrote about it:
I've done some looking into this, and am not sure of the best way to fix
this. My original patch (the one that caused the regression) added the
following code:
if (!melisma_busy (voice))
{
completize_extender (pending_extender_);
pending_extender_ = 0;
}
The more I think about it, the more I think that the patch is correct -
if melisma_busy is intended to behave like I think it should. The
documentation for the melisma_busy function doesn't make it clear, but I
would expect, based on its name, that it should return true whenever the
associated lyrics context is in the middle of a melisma. Since single
underscores extend the melisma ("You can define melismata entirely in
the lyrics, by entering _ for every extra note that has to be added to
the melisma." --LNR 2.1.3), the fix would therefore be to alter the
behavior of the melisma_busy function.
Thanks,
-Chris
