Re: Two lyrics extender problems

Arvid, you rock!!! The "" worked (the _ did not, nor did __.)

So the question now is, is there a bug in LilyPond that doesn't terminate the 
extender, or is that a standard thing we need to be aware of?


Any brilliant ideas for why the extender doesn't appear for the last soprano 
word? Btw, the log file does give me a warning for that line: "warning: 
unterminated extender".  Which is kind of ironic, since it's not drawing 
anything at all :-)


Oh, I did just try Arvid's terrific little "" tip [thee. __ ""] to see if that 
might force the extender, but nope, didn't do anything, still got the warning 
in the log and no extender at all. I did also try moving the slur from the 
first F to the final F before the E, and that didn't help either. Worse case, I 
just use a pen to mark up the master before the copies are made!

Highest regards from the nation of Texas ;-)
