Hi,
I've recently ran into two problems while coding some vocal music
using M-Tx.
1)
Different verses may have different numbers of syllables, which
may require a different rhythm, too. I solved this problem using
two voices throughout the whole piece, but found it a not so
convenient way, especially if the score would consist of voices
S1S2A1A2T1T2B1B2, which I reduced to S1,S2 for this short example.
Is there a more elegant way to handle this case?

2)
For a related problem please see my second example. I'm wondering
how to code the long underscore which belongs to the word Gott. Also
I'm not shure whether there are typographical conventions in such a
case at all. Is it correct to have beamed and unbeamed stems
simultaneously?
