double breve and inverted undertie

Usage in vocal music scores

I'm not sure there's a proper term for it, but the undertie seems to be used also in music scores featuring the voice. In the lyrics of a score, when two or more vowels belonging to two or more separate words, are to be sung under a single note, the undertie is used connecting thus the vowels (e.g. ma_e_a-ma-bil-le; the first four letters of the phrase would be connected by an undertie). Musicians usually refer to it as elision, but hyphen is also used (albeit easily confused with hyphens between syllables within a single word). This is a rather modern practice in music typography; older scores simply make use of spaces, which can lead to confusion when the whole thing is quite dense. I cannot seem to find a reference to the above at the moment, but it would make a good addition to the article, if someone would like to add it. --Chrysalifourfour (talk) 15:29, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
