Hello. In the following example I want the undertie to be placed between the 2 “O sacrum convivium” lines of lyrics, to indicate that no breath should be taken by the singers - as per the normal choral convention. (cf. the commented-out \breathe command in the music itself.) As it currently compiles, the undertie is placed beneath the word “O” of the second phrase. How do I adjust it so that it becomes a link between the 2 phrases, not part of one of them? (I’ve attached a screenshot of what I would like to achieve)
Thanks,
mancunius
