Hyphenation signs separating syllables of one word are typeset with -- (two dashes separated by spaces). A melisma can be indicated by a single underscore separated by spaces, but please be aware that slurs and manual beams automatically insert melismata so that you don't need underscores in this case. > The full possible syntax is given in the LilyPond documentation, but Denemo > provides you with menu items for inserting the most useful extras such > as stanza numbers, font selection and skips. > > You can switch to the lyrics pane with Ctrl-l, Ctrl-l, and you can > switch back from editing the lyrics to editing the music with the Ctrl-l > (or Esc or Tab keys).

[Here I would omit the quotes “” because they confuse the user who asks himself whether to include or exclude them. Instead, I would use a typewriter font to mark what has to be inserted.
