Re: \underline in lyrics

Yes, Mike,

I have about a thousand Bulgarian folk songs in LilyPond format

http://nikolay.kirov.be/2010/folk/FOLK_en.html

A most of them have a refrain, which must be underlined following the
tradition from the books.
So, I need a tool (special engraver) to underline several syllables of
several notes.

Cheers,
Nikolay
