This melody ends on a melisma, a single syllable (‘free’)
sung to more than one note. This is indicated with an extender
line. It is entered as two underscores __:
<<
\relative c'' {
a4 e c8 e r4
b2 c4( d)
}
\addlyrics { One day this shall be free __ }
>>
Similarly, hyphens between words can be entered as two dashes, resulting in a centered hyphen between two syllables
<<
\relative c' {
\time 2/4
f4 f c c
}
\addlyrics { A -- le -- gri -- a }
>>
