That's older practice. Modern practice is to beam it as you would
instrumental music, regardless of syllables. Use slurs to mark the
syllables, but beam to show the beats. There's nothing I hate more as a
singer than looking at a page of old music and seeing a mass of un-beamed
notes. Twelve million flags doesn't help me find the beats easily, but good
beaming does.

Before I go any further in correcting the rest of the song, could y'all tell
me if this is correct now? The only other thing I wasn't sure about is the
beaming - when to and when not to in vocals... Seems like there's some rule
about not beaming if there are different syllables...?
