Hi Patrick,
> I don't understand why the extender includes the d4 in the third measure.
Because you didn’t tell it to stop extending. ;)
> Is there a way to shorten it to the tied c1 in the second measure?
How’s this?
%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.19.83"
music = \relative c' {
c1 ~ c1
d4 e f g }
words = \lyricmode { Tra __ la la la la }
\score { \new Staff \new Voice \music \addlyrics \words }
%%% SNIPPET ENDS
If you really want a gap [under the d], then use
%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.19.83"
music = \relative c' {
c1 ~ c1
d4 e f g }
words = \lyricmode { Tra __ \markup \null la la la }
\score { \new Staff \new Voice \music \addlyrics \words }
%%% SNIPPET ENDS
Hope that helps!
Kieren.
