The <elision> element

Parent element: <lyric>

The elision type represents an elision between lyric syllables. The text content specifies the symbol used to display the elision. Common values are a no-break space (Unicode 00A0), an underscore (Unicode 005F), or an undertie (Unicode 203F). If the text content is empty, the smufl attribute is used to specify the symbol to use. Its value is a SMuFL canonical glyph name that starts with lyrics. The SMuFL attribute is ignored if the elision glyph is already specified by the text content. If neither text content nor a smufl attribute are present, the elision glyph is application-specific.
