Hi all,

I'm porting a project I made on 2.11 to 2.19 and every now and then I
encounter some things that worked with the old version but not anymore with
the new one.

The most recent one is the behaviour of the LyricExtender in the alternate
endings. In 2.11 you could fool the system to add the an empty extender by
adding \markup { "" } in the lyrics but that does not work anymore with
2.19. The current manual *) suggests adding underscores manually but that
is an ugly workaround especially if the passage in the alternative ending
is long (as I have in the real world example).

Is there any way to do this more dynamically?

}

words = \lyricmode {
  Da da da dah __ da
  \markup { "" } __ dum.
}
