Bug/feature/help? with extenders |

I've been setting some music where one verse ends with some music and
lyrics, and the others don't. All 4 verses use underscore extenders to
provide a line to the end of the sounding note. This works fine on the
first verse, since there are lyrics after the underscores, but it doesn't
work as I want on the other verses. I've made a shorter version of the
problem to illustrate it - .ly snippets are available, but I think just the
PDF and lyrics show it well enough.
In UnderscoreTest.pdf I've put an extra syllable after the extender, and
this now ends where it should. The lyrics for the second verse are:
{ La la la __ La la la __ La }
In UnderscoreTestShortError.pdf there's no lyric syllable after the
extender, and the extender now reaches the following note, which I believe
it shouldn't do. The lyrics are:
{ La la la __ La la la __ }
This is a particular problem when there's a lot of blank space between the
extender and the final notes - the extender becomes very long and throws an
error when it crosses a line break.
Is this a bug or just something I'm doing wrong?
(BTW - I do know how to work around this by using \once \override LyricText
#'stencil = ##f and placing some dummy lyrics at the end, but would prefer
to avoid this if possible).
