Re: Phrasing marks are awesome!

Hi Patrick

I'm afraid I don't understand what you have discovered, but have a look at 
LM 2.4.2 and let me know how you think this section might be modified. 
AFAIKS, if you use a phrasing slur "\( .. \)" and leave out the lyrics 
extender the lyrics do not keep proper time, and the extender line is not 
drawn.  If you use an ordinary slur "( .. )" and leave out the extender the 
lyrics keep proper time but the extender line is not drawn.  To keep proper 
time and draw the extender line you need both a slur in the music and a 
double underscore in the lyrics.  Have I missed something?
