Hello,

I would like to create dotted rather than solid lyric extender lines, and
Harm recommended I send a feature request. Other users have voiced the same
desire in 2011 and 2014 (links below), but it was never added to the
bug-list. An example from the 1940 hymnal of the Episcopal Church is
included below.

Thanks!
