Here's my (rather tedious) suggestion for a workaround: so that the alternative
starts with a note, not a rest, provide a note and hide it, then patch the rest
in using another voice; the lyrics need a skip to avoid the dummy note. It
works (see below).

Sure. Just use a skip. Like so:
And now I discover that "" will do the same - which makes it doubly curious
that " " does not. "" is a lot more elegant than \skip1 as well!
Paul
I should have tried that again; but I've tried it in the past and it hasn't
seemed to work. There must be some other subtlety involved; scores converted
from Music XML use \skip1 for melismas... I guess I haven't fully internalised

In markup, you can use \dynamic to use the dynamics characters. However, only
a small part of the alphabet is provided, as it is normally only used for
actual dynamics; what you want is not normal practice, and would come out

, but only uses a quaver of time; the other quaver is
filled by s8 (I tried a hidden real quaver first, but that took too much
space), and the other parts move over a little to match.

BWV 572, bar 109
I have a horizontal bracket with lengthened edges. I want the edges to be
dashed, but I can't see a way to do this without the horizontal part being
dashed as well. Is there a simple solution, or do I just have to draw an extra

Thanks,
Paul
