I am trying to enter lyrics using a text editor. In the Users Guide it talks about the melisma (2x-). I am trying to enter a 2 syllable word to cover 3 notes 'ro-ses', where the 'ro' is to cover 2 notes, and 'ses' 1 note. If I enter ro-- ses, this covers just 2 notes, and then everything else is out of line. In the Composer's lyrics editor, the only way I can get what I want is to enter a single hyphen for the middle note e.g. ro-- - ses.
Am I missing something??
