Subject: In wait for a subsequent word (sorry how can I put it)?
Sorry for the uncomprehensible subject - the question: it's easy when you
have a word hyphenated between some notes - like "San __ \skip4 ctus";
but
if you have a word that's finished but must be sung for some other notes,
like "ctus" that must be sung for say other four notes, I usually leave
no
"__" or "--"; sometimes it can be misunderstooding. Is THERE A RULE FOR
THESE SITUATIONS, and how could eventually I make these signs appear?
Thanks.
You should generally add a "lyric extender", like this:
\score {
<<
\new Voice = "one" {
c''4 d'' c'' d'' e'' f'' e'' f''
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" {
Sanc -- _ _ _ tus __ _ _ _
}
}
