Dave, you say 'To-geth-er' - why not "to-ge-ther"? Same with "broth-er." Seems to me that we pronounce it "bro-ther," but I know the dictionary agrees with your method. I have this nagging thought that if I had paid more attention to the nuns in school, I would have a much easier time with syllabication (syllabification, syllabization, or syllabisation....).
I do a lot of breaking into syllables when I transcribe melodies. I tend to use the breaks shown in the dictionary, although I guess a lot instead of looking things up. One thing I really hate to see is breaking single syllables into multiple ones, an apparent attempt to match syllables to notes. In "Angels We Have Heard on High," we come out with the lunacy of "glo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ri-a."
For the sake of uniformity at Mudcat, and for ease of reading and searching and harvesting and everything, I wish that people would post the entire text of a song, without intermixing chords, or hyphens for syllables. The chords or hyphenated parts should then be repeated, before or after the entire song text - leaving the text intact. It's a bear to make any sense out of text that's mixed with syllables and chords.
