Another good example — thanks. That being said, putting a syllable in a
variable and then adding durations to it seems to me — as someone who engraves
a *huge* amount of vocal music, from a wide variety of styles, genres, and eras
— like a *much* "fringe-i-er" case than the number of cases that would benefit
from restricting \variableName2 to count as a variable name.
Regardless, it doesn’t seem like there’s much enthusiasm to pick up the feature
request.
Thanks!
Kieren.
