Well, the line worked perfectly until I put Line 2 in. Now I am back where I
was. There were a couple of instances of two spaces where there should have
been 1, but I corrected those.
I installed the latest version of Lilypond, but it made no difference.
I can't create a self-contained extract, but here is Mats' file and its
continuation:
\version "2.10.0"
\relative c'{\time 3/4 a d, b' | a2 d,4 | e2. ~ | e |fis | fis2 fis4 |
gis!2 a4 | b2 d4 |}
\addlyrics
{Let it be -- gin with me __ Let there be peace on earth, The}
When it prints out, the melisma is ignored, and there is a single underscore
after "me".
