Re: Narrow Word Lyric

[Joshua Koo]

Thanks Eric,

I am not that sure of how to use the melismata, so I prefer the 2nd method too, 
partly because the 1st method might not work with multi-stanza verses too.
So it worked! except some notes seems to shift its alignment, i guess with the 
\skip affecting them.

Thanks,
Joshua
