This is the convention I'm familiar with too.

Hello Julia
When I was in a choir, a composer of a piece we'd commissioned explained

Occasional ventures into
Most of the argument here seems to be about the word staccato than any great

I particularly like the idea of 'Stairway to heaven' on a castrated!
Lovely vision

In Italian, that is.
