One obvious and fairly common situation is when there are several
verses set beneath a melody line, but with different melismata.  In
this situation is is far easier to disable the automatic detection
of melismata and indicate them in the lyrics with "_".  That will
still work fine, AFAIUI, but equally the extender lines will differ
between the verses and will also need to be indicated manually.  Or
have I misunderstood something?

I attach a recent example - very Christmassy!

How would this be coded in future?
