+If you read section "Switching the melody associated with a lyrics
+line"
+it indeed says "Again, the command must be one syllable too
+early,..."!
+One problem with the current formulation is that the "Again"
+refers to what's described 2 subsections earlier in "Lyrics to
+multiple notes of a melisma", which isn't obvious unless you have
+read all the sections
+sequentially.
+
+
+I don't know who's working on the vocal music right now, but I
+found something that should be clarified in NR 2.1.2.4.
+
+It should be made clear that __ is used to crate a lyric extender,
+and _ is used to add a note to a melisma, so both __ and _ are
+used. The example shows it, but there is no description of the
+lyrics extender in this section.

Since LilyPond input files are text, there are two issues to
consider when working with vocal music:
@lilypond[ragged-right,verbatim,fragment,quote]
\time 3/4
-\relative { c2 e4 g2. }
+\relative c' { c2 e4 g2. }
\addlyrics { play the game }
@end lilypond
@lilypond[ragged-right,verbatim,fragment,quote]
\time 3/4
-\relative { c2 e4 g2. }
+\relative c' { c2 e4 g2. }
\addlyrics { play the game }
\addlyrics { speel het spel }
\addlyrics { joue le jeu }
surround them with quotes or use a @code{_} character, to get spaces
between syllables, or use tilde symbol (@code{~}) to get a lyric tie.
