Hi Kieren,
thank you for this hint. I embedded it in my little test-file and will
use it :-) . Its a cleaner and nicer solution than the phrasing-slur hack!
But my tagged-Voice-solution still has the opportunity to place the
'(n)' somewhere without a note above it. The scores I am working on need
this. One might ask, if it would be easier to read, if there would be a
tied note above the '(n)'-ending, but I try to typeset as close as
possible to the original handwritten scores.
Regards,
Jan-Peter.

Hi Jan-Peter:
I am typesetting a few choral pieces (using the stable version 2.12.2 Ubuntu repo), where there is often a sign, that singers should close from vowel to 'N'.
This is written: a - - - men ____ (n) ____
The choir should do this in designated times/positions, so it should be written in the score.
I think perhaps it's easier than you think:
lyrL = { \once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT }
noten = \relative c'' {
\set melismaBusyProperties = #'() d1 |
c1 ~ |
c1
\bar "|."
}
text = \lyricmode {
a -- \lyrL \markup \line { men \draw-line #'(4 . 0) } "(n)"
}
\score {
\new ChoirStaff <<
\new Staff \new Voice = "melodieA" \noten
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "melodieA" \text
>>
}
No need for all those extra Voices, DevNull contexts, etc.
Hope this helps!
Kieren.
