I’m using some functions to allow me to select words in the lyrics of some hymns in a systematic way so that the same hymn can be used referring to one or more persons (and in some cases, either a man or a woman). These functions work just fine when they appear in the lyrics by themselves, but when there is punctuation immediately after one of these functions, the punctuation gets shifted to its own syllable. Is there a way to have the function interact with punctuation more intelligently? I’m thinking I need to use \concat somehow, but how do I write the function so that it only does the concatenation when the next character is punctuation?
Attached is an example showing one of my simple word selection functions followed by a comma. ✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝ Fr. Samuel, OSB (R. Padraic Springuel) St. Anselm’s Abbey 4501 South Dakota Ave, NE Washington, DC, 20017 202-269-2300 (c) 202-853-7036 PAX ☧ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ
