Description
Your idea
To support Japanese lyric notation methods, add the ability to apply slurs to lyrics.
Problem to be solved
Currently, an elision slur can be inserted as a special character to connect two syllables under one note, but it has compatibility issues with Japanese characters.
Being able to add slurs between one or two notes would be extremely useful for Japanese users.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing the existing lyric elision-slur behavior and how lyrics connect to notes; then determine how slurs between one or two notes are represented. Done means Japanese lyrics can use the requested slur notation without the incompatible special-character approach.
