Re: Italian/Spanish: multiple vowels on one note

For clarification, it's called an elision (the vowels are elided together) and I’ve secretly been wondering about it as well. It's a problem in Finale, too.

Hello,

I've been searching for a way to represent what looks like an upside down breve, and also what looks like a breve spaced as low as an underscore.

Anyway, I have music I want to notate, in Italian and Spanish, that uses these characters (the first for Italian, the second for Spanish).  They use them to show that two different words, or syllables from words, are to be associated with the same note (basically, you just sing them both quickly).  I've been using a miniature circumflex for this, and sometimes a breve, but I want to use the actually characters.  Is there a way to add these in Lilypond?  I ask because I haven't found such characters in the unicode character set.  Is there a font I can use that has them?

This is what a breve looks like: ˘

Here's the circumflex character I've been using: ˆ (it's smaller than ^)

I would like a breve spaced as low, or lower, than an underscore (i.e. _), and preferably one that looks like it's trying to connect the two sounds.
