Giuliano Forghieri écrit:I'm going to check if the rules are correct (it's a Dutch site after all). I'll post again if I find errors.
Thanks, Giuliano! Exactly what I need. I look forward to reading your opinion on this site.
I'm also wondering if the rules are the same for a regular printed text and for vocal music. In Latin, for instance, one sees in sacred music divisions that don't correspond to normal "syllables". (e.g. no-stra rather than nos-tra).
Of course they can be different, especially when there are coupled vowels (e.g. Dio [God] may be hyphenated or not depending on how many notes are involved). IMHO, your example, though possible, doesn't represent a real issue, because no one should really "sing" that s (I have some choral experience, even of Gregorian chant and I believe that everyone here would go for no-stra, no matter how it's written).
And there may also be the case of an Italian engraver who uses the modern Italiam hyphenation instead of the Latin (no-stra is the correct Italian, I'm unsure about the Latin).
