HiI have a lyrics alignment issue when lyrics contains punctuations.First Let me take the example from the reference manual, see the " I am so lonely..." piece below.http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/common-notation-for-vocal-music#entering-lyrics\relative c' { \time 3/4 e4 e4. e8 d4 e d c2. }\addlyrics { "\"I" am so lone -- "ly,\"" said she }Note because ("I) is treated as a whole syllable, It makes single character (I) not appears in the middle.What I want is to make "I" in the middle position under the note.Second example, see attached pdf, There are lot of punctuations in the music, the alignment issue becomes very visible.Is it possible to explicitly define punctuations in the lilypond file? Or Do I have to tweak each syllable manually?
