Comment #4 on issue 2458 by [email protected]: Remove small gaps between lyric syllables

Yes, typeseting "joined" syllables as one Pango string could be the right solution. However, i don't understand your suggestion for right-to-left languages. Since the music flows from left to right, joining two right-to-left syllables into one right-to-left string would result in having syllables under wrong notes, wouldn't it?
