Hi, A friend of mine wrote this script for me and I successfully use it in MusixTEX: http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/macros/musixtex/taupin/add-ons/underbracket/
Sadly I do not know how to use it in Lilypond. If you find this out I'm really interested in your solution.

If I recall correctly, the earlier requests were for a curved symbol, something like a tie pointing downwards, whereas your example shows a straight line. I think you can find some workarounds in the mailing list archives using inline LaTeX code. For an ordinary underscore as in the example you show, you could simply use "tre\\_es". If there happens to be any symbol in the LilyPond Feta font that could be useful (see http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/The-Feta-fo nt.html#The-Feta-font) then it's easy to access in the lyrics by just inserting a \markup{...} command. /Mats Laura Conrad wrote: > There's a typesetting convention for lyrics that when there are what > look like two syllables on a note but it's really only one because one > is elided, you join the syllables with a sort of a tie underneath > them.
