That's a superb point, and for melismatic music, if you could type the syllable into the score at its start point, and then drag the end point to the last note of the melisma. It's not that different from simply clicking on the note where the next syllable is, but conceptually it has the beauty of defining a *span* of applicability. -- David W.
