Abraham,
You are right. First I had to discover what a melisma was. Now I
know. At the beginning of the learning curve, I have a lot to learn. I
think the LSR is a place for a lot of study. Thanks.

Bill,
The only thing I don't like is the use of the underscore to skip notes
in the lyrics. Since this manually creates a melisma, it makes the
syllable in each verse (except the third) shift unnaturally to the
right, relative to its notehead, while the third verse is all lined up
correctly. Other than that, LGTM!

How about the mods I have put in. It seems to engrave OK. Still
tedious to type though.
