Right now, the only available workaround is probably to typeset this
as a lyrics staff. The syllable extender line mechanism can be used to
get a solid line.

In order to to get \\"u in the generated TeX output file, you have to
escape each backslash, i.e. write \\\\"u
The other alternative is to write the ü directly in the input with
its 8-bit character code according to the Latin1 encoding.
