Lyric ties are essential for vocal music in Spanish because of the
high percentage of the Spanish-language words that end in a vowel.
Also, multiple-syllable words are much more common in Spanish, which
makes notes that share more than one syllable a common case.
Two examples from Juan del Enzina:
% From "Hoy comamos y bebamos"
\relative c' { \time 3/2
r2 e f
a1 g2
f2 e1
d1 d2
} \addlyrics { que ma -- ña -- na~a -- yu -- na -- re -- mos. }
% From "Ay, triste que vengo"
\relative c'' { \time 3/2
r2 r a
c2 c b
g2 g e
a2 a gis
a2 a r
} \addlyrics { Con vis -- ta~ha -- la -- gue -- ra mi -- re -- la~y --
mi -- ro -- me }
\addlyrics { Yo no sé quién e -- ra, mas e -- lla~a -- gra -- dó -- me }
