Is there a way to input a white space (“de à” under c sharp in the fourth bar) in a lyric as follows?
The example is taken from the aria “Je veux vivre” in “Roméo et Juliette” of Gounod.
I do not know French, but I assume that inputting “de_à” might not be correct for this.
And on Mac, the combination is control + option + space. Though shift + option + space should also work, provided option + space is not assigned to anything is System Preferences > Shortcuts. I’m saying this because when I uncheck the option + space combination (which is assigned to “Select Next Source in Input Menu” on my Mac), I can also add a non-breaking space with the combination suggested by @k_b.
