G'day all

I am in need of some of your cyber cleverness again.

I have a note which is tied from the last beat of
bar 1 to the first beat of bar 2.  Its lyric
needs to span the bar line and be sung to one syllable.

I cannot convince MTx that this is a good thing.
The usual "----" that is used to indicate a syllable
spanning multiple beats does not appear, the next
words starts a beat early and the ?? of course appears at the end.

Here is a code fragment to show what i mean

Style: Singer
Meter: 4/4

d4 d8 d d d ( d4
L: dum dum de dah de span

d8 ) e8 e e e2
L: do do do dooooo


so the 'span' word is the tied one.  The first 'do'
of bar 2 should be the second beat.

The best I have managed to do is poke in a blank lyric
in the first beat of the  second bar so that the lyrics
line up but then of course the singer will be confused
about the tie not showing in the lyric.

Hope i have been clear.

thanks for any clever ideas
cheers
Neil
