Dear Christopher,

The character I use for the ligature in cases such as "e_il" is in the Toccata Font, lower base b. If you are using Type Into Score you can enter a b, then go to the Edit Lyrics box and change the font to Toccata.

Hi all,

Sorry to bring this up again, but I can't find the thread where this was discussed last year. I remember Mark D. Lew had some intelligent things to say on the subject.

I thought one could use an underscore character from some other font as a curved ligature connecting two syllables on the same note. But Finale 2005 treats that character as a word extension now, whereas it didn't behave that way the last time I needed to do this (I think it was back in 2002!)

What is the method now for entering

e_um

with the curved ligature? Do I have to enter a hard space and enter the ligature as a staff expression?

And my client tells me that

e'um

with the apostrophe is an accepted method of indicating the same thing. I have no knowledge of this. Is this the real deal? She is a singer, so I might trust her judgment on the ligature, but she consistently leaves beats out of measures, forgets accidentals and misnotates rhythms, so I have to take everything she says with a grain of salt.

Thanks a lot.

Christopher
