Re: spaces must be inserted around property commands?

[James E. Bailey]

Well, it's only specific to Lyrics. Earlier in the section, it states:
   A word or syllable of lyrics begins with an alphabetic character,  
and ends with any space or digit… Any character that is not a digit  
or white space will be regarded as part of the syllable; one  
important consequence of this is that a word can end with }…
