Tip on writing long melismas / melismata
I couldn't find this in the documentation or on the forum.
When writing especially classical music with long melismata, there is an alternative to hitting the "-" or "_" key over and over again under the notes. Instead, start as normal with the first syllable, then find the last note of the melisma and "CTRL-L" and type a hyphen/underscore. The intermediary hyphens/underscores will automatically fill in between the two. Much quicker!

I've added a brief description of this to the relevant handbook page for MS4
