Hi Patrick
I'm afraid I don't understand what you have discovered, but have a look at
LM 2.4.2 and let me know how you think this section might be modified.
AFAIKS, if you use a phrasing slur "\( .. \)" and leave out the lyrics
extender the lyrics do not keep proper time, and the extender line is not
drawn. If you use an ordinary slur "( .. )" and leave out the extender the
lyrics keep proper time but the extender line is not drawn. To keep proper
time and draw the extender line you need both a slur in the music and a
double underscore in the lyrics. Have I missed something?

Subject: Phrasing marks are awesome!
I just found out that if you use phrasing marks, you don't have to put in
time extenders in your lyrics! It makes it so easy! I wrote all the time
extenders, then learned about phrasing marks, and now I get to take all the
time extenders back out! Can I write a section for the tutorial that will
save other newbies the frustration I've been going through that could have
been easily avoided if I'd just understood that they were connected?
Actually it would probably be in instrument-specific notation/vocal music.
Now would be a good time to do it while I'm still excited and remember
before it was obvious. Oh, and did I mention that lilypond is great!
Patrick
