Hi, Eddie and Sherry:

I use the underscore character (shifted hyphen). Usually two or three are sufficient to stretch the lyric, as in: ro- __- ses.

That, combined with a slur in the notation, should do it for you.

P.S. Pushing a foot of new snow near Ottawa right now, Sherry. How's the tip of the thumb of Michigan doing?
