punctuation to comply with the approved printed text. However, there's
another question on which I'd like your collective wisdom please...
Should a punctuation mark be after a word or at the end of the extension
line? :

This is how I'd approach your situation.
I do concur with those who advise that this is a non-standard usage of
word extensions, but I can also perceive that they may not, in fact, be
extensions, but instead have another use. Therfore, first verify with
your client exactly why she has

In that case I would use ellipses instead of underscores. Simple.
Done! Thanks.

I would switch to another level, fill the bar with, say, eighth notes,
enter the text where I want it (including word extensions), hide the

In chant notation when several syllables are to be chanted on a
single tone, no extensions are needed. If the choir sings a sustained
chord (or unison} against a cantor or priest, there should still be
no word extensions.

They should only be used for non-hyphenated syllables under more than one
