Question to the wise : how do you use extenders in the _middle_
of words.
I know that the documentation says
"In the last syllable of a word, melismata are sometimes
indicated with a long horizontal line starting in the melisma
syllable, and ending in the next one."
I have the following example:
\version "2.13.7"
\paper { ragged-right = ##t }
\relative c'' {
a4\( b4\) a2 } \addlyrics {
Me -- lo -- dy } \addlyrics {
Ly __ _ -- ric }
The 'Ly' of lyric is stretched across two notes and I want to
indicate this with an extender. However, it is the first syllable
of 'Lyric' and I want to indicate this with a hyphen.
The above example throws out the error
programming error: hyphen not finished yet
continuing, cross fingers
and junks the hyphen.
I also tried the following
\version "2.13.7"
\paper { ragged-right = ##t }
\relative c'' {
a4\( b4\) a2 } \addlyrics {
Me -- lo -- dy } \addlyrics {
Ly __ -- \skip 4 ric }
This compiles without errors but now the extender stretches below
the hyphen which looks odd.
Does anyone have any ideas how this could be managed?
Thanks
