Hi everybody!
I'm only 90% happy about "" and \markup\null... For dynamic spanners and hairpins, we have \! to end them prematurely before a "natural" end event appears. Is this similar enough to warrant the use of the same token (i.e., \! would be translated to empty lyrics with a CompletizeExtenderEvent), and is it possible at all? Otherwise, should we have a special token for this (\. comes to my mind)?
The use of "" and \markup\null is nothing new, so it needs to be handled correctly anyway. It's possible to move a \markup\null to the left or right, therefore it is useful for \earlyExtender. If this property is not needed "" will be used as it is much easier to type. If \! or something similar would be provided for the same purpose almost everybody probably still would use the faster "". __ meant "add an extender event", this is meaningless with the proposed patch as an extender event is added after every syllable. To increase compatibility I feel that it _never_ should be reused for anything.
