Thankyou Hal.  I asked my client about it and told her what you'd said (see 
my reply to Christopher).  I'm not well experienced in the rules of scoring 
liturgical music, and certainly not the Catholic Mass, so your help was very 
welcome.

Out of interest, would word extensions be correct if you wanted to pinpoint 
words to certain notes in an operatic cadenza?  I've always done that 
without any queries.

Peter
