Perhaps including the precise syllabification in small type in addition to the 
"official" working in the regular type.

Sometimes spellings errors are there to match the rhyming patterns.  AWALNATION 
does “Bad Wolf” with:   
“Oh my God I think I might’ve made a mustake Waiting patiently was waiting 
taking up space We are waiting taking up space.”

But all I got was “how do you notate “Mrs.”, a one syllable word, over two 
notes? Well simple, you don’t want to abbreviate the word.  The proper word for 
the intent and purpose is “Mis-sis”.
English language is quite well developed.
