In order to assign more than one syllable to a single note with
spaces between the syllables, you can surround the phrase with
quotes or use a @code{_} character. Alternatively, you can use
-code the tilde symbol (@code{~}) to get a lyric tie. The lyric
-tie is implemented with the Unicode character U+203F, so be
-sure to have a font (like DejaVuLGC) installed that includes this
-glyph.

When a melisma occurs on a syllable other that the last one in a
word, that syllable is usually joined to the following one with a
hyphenated line. This is indicated by placing a double hyphen,
-@code{--}, immediately after the syllable.
+@w{@code{--}}, immediately after the syllable.
Alternatively, when a melisma occurs on the last or only syllable in
a word an extender line is usually drawn from the end of the syllable
Extender lines under melismata are not created automatically; they
must be inserted manually with a double underscore.

-@unnumberedsubsubsec Skipping notes

-Making a lyric line run slower than the melody can be achieved by
-inserting @code{\skip}s into the lyrics. For every @code{\skip},
-the text will be delayed by another note. The @code{\skip} command
-must be followed by a valid duration, but this is ignored when
-@code{\skip} is used in lyrics which derive their durations from the
-notes in an associated melody through @code{\addlyrics} or
-@code{\lyricsto}.
