Please answer.... i would like to sponsor the feature if it is possible...

Question is "is it possible to add a 'break beam on every new syllable' rule to 
automatic beaming beahviour 
in order to type correct vocal music only by using text and dashes in the 
lyrics contest? 
(no manual beams, no /melisma, ignoring ties)"

Thanks
