Re: Having trouble with lyrics on an unmetered chant tone

[James Bailey]

I always forget that. In that case, forcing the breaking with a  
manual \break so that the measure is spread out over a large enough  
space should get that to work. I don't think the hyphenation is meant  
to be "where do I want a hypen" but rather, "where is a hyphen  
allowed". In this case, modifying the \layout block to have ragged- 
last=##f will have it fill the entire last line, and the hypens will  
show.
