Dear lilyponders,

[hit sent too early the first time around]
in vocal music especially multipart music lyrics extenders do greatly enhance 
readability how stuff is sung. Especially for long notes extenders come in 
handy - so far this is probably well established and not exactly new 😊

This all works reasonably good for tied and slurred music. However when there 
is a long note (e.g. full, or breve or such) the current situation leaves room 
for improvement (to my knowledge).

I'm looking for an automatic way to have the extenders in the upper system 
similar to those in the lower system as of the example below.

Any ideas?

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.21.0"

{
  <<
    \new Staff { c''1 c''2. c''2. c''1. }
    \addlyrics { bla __ bla __ bla __ bla __ }
    \new Staff {
      c''8( c'' c'' c'' c'' c'' c'' c'')
      c''8( c'' c'' c'' c'' c'')
      c''8( c'' c'' c'' c'' c'')
      c''8( c'' c'' c'' c'' c'' c'' c'' c'' c'' c'' c'')
    }
    \addlyrics { bla __ bla __ bla __ bla __ }
  >>
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Kind regards,
Michael
