Re: Elision slur below entire syllable

[Brent Annable]

Oh just one more thing: how do I get the "love" and the "liest" to join together as one word, without a space in between? At the moment I have:

\column {
        \line {  "See, the love"\undertie"liest""blooming rose," }
          "   Alleluia!"
          "From the branch of Jesse grows,"
          "   Alleluia!"
        }

But that produces "love" and "liest" as two separate words.

Hi Brent,

This is usually called an undertie. You can do this in markup with the
\undertie command. Note that you can use any markup in lyricsmode, so you can
do

\new Staff { c' c'} \addlyrics {lov --  \markup\undertie"liest"}

to get this even in lyrics.

Cheers,
Valentin
