After editing Phil> these oddities out it displayed correctly. I don't think you should consider either of these as an oddity. The draft standard (1.7.6) lists them as commands that should be parsed: $ Within the lyrics, the following words should be separated by one or more $ blank spaces and to correctly align them the following symbols may be used: $ $ - break between syllables within a word $ | advance to next bar $ _ (underscore) last syllable is to be held for an extra note $ * one note is skipped (i.e. * is equivalent to a blank syllable) $ ~ appears as a space but connects syllables each side into one $ \- appears as - sign in output. $ \ continuation character; next w: field is part of the same line -- Laura (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] , http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (801) 365-6574 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
