Re: Line in lyrics to show half or full note

Jay,

What you are trying to do is improper notation.  There should not be an extender on the word "gee" in your example.  (and the singer should be able to sing this properly without the added line).

Best wishes,

When a lyric syllable corresponds to several notes, it is easy to get a line extending under all the notes concerned. When a lyric syllable corresponds to a single full note (or dotted full or a half note) I would like to see a line the extends from the lyric till the completion of the current note. Here is an example:

%%%%%%%%%

\version "2.18.2"

<<

\new Voice = melody {

\relative c' {c4 d e f g1}}

\new Lyrics \lyricsto melody { cee dee eee ef gee}

>>
%%%%%%%%%

This is what it produces:

This is what I would like to see with a line showing that the lyric gee extends to the end of the measure:
