i just cannot get it straight...
 
if i understand correctly when you are writing lyrics, and you want to say that a word should be sung over many notes ( a melisma ), then you write something like
 
notes:     n    n    n    n    n    n    n
words:    w     -     -    -     -     -    -
 
this puts the first - close to the word  w, and the rest - left aligned below the respective note.
 
when you use -- insted of - then you get the same result, but the -- are centered between notes.
 
when you use __ after a note, then you get a line between that note and the next.
 
but if you want to extend a word for more than 2 notes, how do you do it?
 
the closest i came was to write something like
 
notes:    n         n      n     n      n   
words:    w   __  _ __ _ __ _ __ _
 
but this just creates the underlines separated from each other like __ __ __ __
 
what i want to achieve is something like ______________
 
how dow you do that?
 
with regards,
 
ricardo
