Thanks.  I've also found the plain underscore, as documented, does a
reasonable job of linking the two words to a note.  I'll try your suggestion
for the visual effect.

This happens a lot in classic vocal, especially in Italian opera.  Is there an
'official' way to request this feature for future development (after the
current 1.8 rush)?
