Re: [Lyrics] Ignoring tie

[Nils Gey]

What a great example of how Lilypond saves the day. In my eyes thats exactly 
the reason why Lilypond exists, because it usually knows better how to do 
things.

Janek and Bill are correct: Removing the ties is the correct
musical/notation decision. A tie and two syllabes are mutually excluisve. 
Breaking this notation-rule will confuse your musicians.
