Leave the \
as the marker in the text. When the marker is matched by a chord, place a chord. If it is matched by a period dot .

<!-- Though font-stretch has no influence on a single character -->

Particularly useful for a'capella songs with complex lyrics, like:
When the notation above is present, the letter preceded with the
\
should become bold
