When I try to start a syllable that continues after the repeat, I have a problem. Lilypond complains loudly: repeats.ly:24:38: warning: unterminated hyphen; removing Below an example that should read Oh, tralalala! Tralalali! (Of course the hyphen would "kind of" work if I add "li!" at the end – it would pretend as if the word was "Tra -- li" and would place the hyphen to the wrong place.) What's the best recipe to fix such cases?
You have to revert to some kind of tricks; in this case, using "Tra -", which has the disadvantage of taking the hyphen from the font instead of Lily’s engraver tool, so it will probably look slightly different. See attached.
Another problem are cases which I would intuitively write tra -- _ -- la where the first syllable "tra" would be sung across two pitches.
Simple: just omit the second hyphen. Hyphens will be extended to span the whole distance until the next actual syllable comes. Same with extenders.
Best, Simon
