When I try to start a syllable that continues after the repeat, I have
a problem.
Lilypond complains loudly:
repeats.ly:24:38: warning: unterminated hyphen; removing
Below an example that should read
Oh, tralalala! Tralalali!
(Of course the hyphen would "kind of" work if I add "li!" at the end –
it would pretend as if the word was "Tra -- li" and would place the
hyphen to the wrong place.)
What's the best recipe to fix such cases?
You have to revert to some kind of tricks; in this case, using "Tra -",
which has the disadvantage of taking the hyphen from the font instead of
Lily’s engraver tool, so it will probably look slightly different. See
attached.
Another problem are cases which I would intuitively write
tra -- _ -- la
where the first syllable "tra" would be sung across two pitches.
Simple: just omit the second hyphen. Hyphens will be extended to span
the whole distance until the next actual syllable comes. Same with
extenders.
