When we want to use a double-quote character in lyrics, we have to *remember*
to write them like this ( from the docs

):
\addlyrics { "\"I" am so lone -- "ly,\"" said she }
However, is there any easier, more memorable way to do this?
Is there a way to do this using macros?
I am thinking to do something like:
this = \lyricmode{ \dq I am happier with this \dq }
or
this = \lyricmode{ \dq This would be fine \qd }
Use proper quotation marks; they look better anyway.
\addlyrics { “I am so lone -- ly,” said she }
