The <elision> element
Parent element: <lyric>
The <elision> element 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. If neither text content nor a smufl attribute are present, the elision glyph is application-specific.
