Hi Alexander,

where is this from: conditional-kill-lyric-extender-callback?
Does it have any drawback?

It is a perfect solution for a problem I had for quite some time:
In chorales (4 voices, mostly homophone), I often have common lyrics but
sometimes different melismata. So just because of one or two __, I have
to duplicate the lyrics up to four times or put several tags in there.
This conditional killing of the extender line allows to enter the __ in
the common lyrics and in all voices without melisma, it is removed
automatically. Very nice.

Would it be possible to have automatic extender lines? For every melisma
there is an extender line if it would be longer than the minimum-length?

Best,
Joram
