One syllable word automatically breaks into two syllables

When I use the word “slam” in my lyrics, it automatically breaks the word into two syllables s-lam which takes up two notes. The only way I found to fix it is to intentionally leave out a letter and misspell the word as “sam” or “sla” which is annoying. Can this be fixed in the programming? Thanks!

Maybe in this topic, we can start a list of all the one syllable words that are broken into two syllables by the software and cannot be fixed by the end user.

definitely seems like the lyrics library is causing the breaking up single syllable words beginning with “sl” – seems like a fix is needed. @DSchwachhofer

the workaround though is to append a “-” to the end of “slam”, so it will force a single note - write it as “slam-”

Yes. That’s easy to fix. We have a list for manual corrections in our code. I just need to add those words. So having a list with wrong words is a good idea.

It happens with a ton of words that start with S.

Are they all divided after the first “S”?
One thing you can do asa quick fix is to put a dash after a wrongly divided word. This will combine any word before to just one syllable and the dash won’t be shown in the lyrics export.

I’m tryiing to use the word “Dice” and it breaks into two. Any way to manually fix on my end?

Hi, and thank you for reporting this.

I have fixed the hyphenator to see “Dice” as one syllable. It should work with the next update. Until then you can just write “Dice-” and it will work as intended.

Please let me know if you find any other incorrect words.
