[Finale] Merged syllable question

[Darcy James Argue]

Is it still customary when entering lyrics to use an apostrophe and 
dropped vowel to indicate a "merged" syllable in English (i.e., where 
the word as sung has fewer syllables than the dictionary hyphenation)?  
Or is that an archaic practice?

In other words, should a two-syllable "opening" be written

"o-pening"

or

"o-p'ning"

?
