Hi Gabriel,

I searched (quickly, as I have little time right now!) for a way to adjust the
stencil of a lyric tie, but couldn’t find it; that seems like the best way (to
my mind) to do what you want, as it could/should “flex” automagically.
My fallback would be to simply invert the instructions for the fermata:
verse = \lyricmode {
\once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #-0.95
"The heavens declare the"
\markup \override #'(baseline-skip . 0.8) %% adjust to taste
\general-align #Y #-0.15
\center-column { glory \override #'(thickness . 2) \concat { \draw-line #'(0
. 0.5) \draw-line #'(1.5 . 0) \draw-line #'(0 . 0.5) } } of God;
"and the" firma -- ment
sheweth his handy-work.
}
But maybe someone else has a less manual/hacky solution?!
Best,
Kieren.
