John in Brisbane: May I ask, why are you splitting words into syllables in the first place?

It's OK if you're preparing sheet music and you want to align each syllable of the lyrics with the corresponding note in the musical staff, but if you're splitting syllables for any other reason, my advice is, don't do it. In ordinary text, syllabification is a disappearing practice, and in my opinion, good riddance.

I only mention this because I noticed recently that you posted some lyrics here with the syl -la -bles all sep -a -ra -ted like this, and I see no reason for it. The main problem is that it makes those lyrics impossible to find with any search engine. Also, it's impossible to check with a spell-checker, and a bit hard to read, as well.
