  Hi Archee,
  Unfortunately, there is a little technical problem with that. Your request is rightful, however if I changed this right now, it would have an affect all songs, so we will have to seek another solution which leads into deep problems.
  @Aparajita: the problem is that we don't store the syllable's relative position to its note, we just start from its center position and store the user's custom horizontal-syllable-adjustment movement (if any). There can be two solutions for Archee's request: 1. We don't change the model, but if a 4 or 5 length word is inserted, we change the syllable custom movement as if the user draged it. This might be a little bit problematic, because the syllables' position is calculated each time the score is redrawn, so if the user makes real adjustments, it can be overwritten by the program.
  2. We change the model and start storing the syllable's relative position to its note. However, I need a little help of designing the new model a syllable: under a note (as a syllable) we can have different things:
  a) Simple syllable
  b) Dashes (as an extender of previous syllable, but between a word)
  c) Extender line, as an end of a word
  Plus we may have a long dash between two syllables in case of compound words (like Compassion-Eye), this can be a property of a syllable
  Plus there are special cases when a word (or a compound word) is broken between two lines.
