From the Lyrics menu, choose Lyrics Window. The
Edit Text window appears. Type the lyrics in the usual way, up to the
elision.
Type the first syllable. Without adding
a space, type a capital I, then the second syllable.
Drag to select the I. From the Text menu, choose
Font. Choose EngraverFontSet then click OK, choose Set Font, then choose
EngraverFontSet. Complete the remaining lyrics.
Click OK. When you enter these lyrics
using the CONTROL-Click
Assignment method (see Lyrics),
Finale distributes the syllables you just created to the corresponding
notes of the melody, but treats the elision as a single syllable. A slur
will appear between the two syllables.
