Tip/Trick: elision between lyric syllables

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hello, all --

I've seen a couple of inquiries about this issue on the list in the  
past...
Just ran into this problem myself, and solved it to my satisfaction  
(see Lilycode, below, and attached PNG).

Hope this helps someone else!

Best regards,
Kieren.
