Hyphenation #13

Solesmes/Desclée editions (rightly or wrongly, but with a long precedent dating to late antiquity at the latest) split words like "Sanctus" as "San-ctus" clearly seen in the music. There is at least one example in the Liber Usualis, the collect of St William on June 25. Mutatis mutandis this should apply to words like "omnia" or its variants, the catch being that in Romance-language typography, there is apparently preference for not printing vowels by themselves at the end of a line.

We need to modify the hyphenation pattern then but this seems difficult given Latin's inflections… to follow up later!
