Depends on how much of a perfectionist you are. I've used the Unicode
"undertie" character ("‿") directly in a score, and in my opinion it looked
good enough. Not perfect, but good enough.
IMHO, the display of any particular character in a font is a font, rather than
a character set issue. It actually looks closer to what I expect using e.g.
emacs' "fixed" font, or whatever font I'm using right now in a web browser,
than it looks using Lilypond's lyric typesetting font, but I haven't studied
the
documentation for this character well enough to say which font is more
conformant.
Anyway, the following works well *enough* for me with no further ado[1]:
tiWords = \lyricmode {
Tu che di ver -- de‿il pra -- to
ve -- sti‿e‿i giar -- din di fio -- ri,
%% ...etc
}
[1] OK, so I had to bind a key combination to that character, but after that
it was all smooth sailing.
