Hi! > when setting lyrics to music, is it ever acceptable to join eighth notes > across syllables or even across words?
As both singer and conductor, I can say without qualification that it is better to join the beams (i.e., beam according to the beat structure, like every other instrument). It's definitely easier (and thus faster) to sight read and teach/direct. Hope this helps!
