I'm looking for a way to create a customizable line from one lyric syllable
to the next to indicate a modulation of the sound between the two syllables.
This is really a lyric glissando, but \glissando cannot be applied to
lyrics. (Could \glissando be adapted?)
Using the lyric extender works, but produces only a baseline-aligned line
and clumsy code. (I posted about this last month.)
Using the lyric hyphen by making the hyphen thick and very long produces a
nicer solution, except when there's a line break: it continues on the new
line OK, but should stop at the end of the old line (as does the lyric
extender). Is this a bug in the lyric hyphen?
Sadly coding isn't my thing, but I'm willing to help test and document any
solution.
Thanks.
Peter
