The Toccata one is far better, because its size is normal for text fonts, whereas the Engraver version is sized to be used at 24 points (as with the music characters). Of course, I don't think it's actually a ligature, but a tie for creating suspended notes. I had never known about the Toccata ligature, so I'm definitely going to use it in the future. I wish there was some way, though, to paste it into the edit lyrics window and maintain font formatting, but there isn't. Since I use click assignment for lyrics, though, it shouldn't be too bad, as I do all the text entry at once, so can easily type the lower- case b for the ligature as I'm going and quickly go back and change the font without it interrupting the flow. However, for those who use type into score, it's not as easy an operation. But, that's one of the reasons I prefer click assignment to type into score -- you don't have to repeatedly enter the same thing (imagine Ky-ri-e_e-lei-son, repeated 100 times). -- David W.
