Re: Lyircs melsima line ending in interpunctation

[Jan-Peter Voigt]

Good morning Nils,

last evening with half closed eyes I missed the "reply-all/list" button ...
As you can see, there has been discussion on the list last night. If you 
typeset on behalf of your publisher, you might try to fulfil his wishes.
But there has been some arguments against this style. I also own "Behind bars" 
and that seems to be kind of a standard. So when typesetting Bach, I wouldn't 
do it.
From my musicians point of view, I also wouldn't do it. See e.g. Shane's and 
Hayden's posts.
Still, there might be music from the 20th century on, where such a beyond 
extender interpunctuation might add an interpretation info/semantic to the 
musician.
So in such a case, you can use the named snipped.

Cheers, Jan-Peter
