Will this be picked up automatically, or should I report it someplace?

That works, thanks - albeit it's a bit of a pain, since the music I have 
uses individual number as words in the lyric, so the complete lyric set for 
one section is 2 3 2 3 2 3 2 3 2 3 2 3 2 3 2 3 2 3 2 3 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 - so 
each numeral needs placing in quotes!  (Luckily I'm writing a prog that 
converts from Noteworthy to LilyPond so I've updated it to check for 
numerals with spaces before and after and escape them with quotes, but it's 
a bit hack-y).

See my reply to the next message.

It did, thanks.
