It does depend on the genre. In barbershop, it's quite usual to print extenders on single notes, and they're frequent because of the style: << We love to sing like this, sing like this We love to sing like this________________ >> The problem of anchoring is recognised for dynamics, and fixed by using empty chords as attachments. But AFAIK there's no equivalent for lyrics because they don't attach to empty chords. I think it's a real lack. Some people suggest hidden notes, but that messes up the midi. NullVoice works well, but requires a fair amount of work, and you end up with another voice to keep synchronised when editing. I tried the aftergrace method mentioned here last year, but the extenders seem to end up too long compared with those around them. (And again the midi is affected.)
