Re: [Finale] Hyphen under rest?

[Michael Cook]

This isn't rare at all: operas are full of words that go across rests 
(have a look at a score of "Il Barbiere di Siviglia" or "La 
Traviata"). It's normal to keep the hyphens going under the rests.

Best wishes,

notation is correct, I would vote to keep the hyphens going under the rest
to emphasise the fact that the word (the thought) continues through the
pause.
But it's weird.

 I have a word that begins with a melisma on the first syllable, followed
by
 a rest before the second syllable. The hyphens continue to run under the
 rest. Is that how things should be, or should the hyphens stop after the
 last note, before the rest?
