In a vocal chart, the singer rolls his r's in several places.  For instance, the lyric "drink" is sung as dr-dr-dr-ink.

 

What is the best way to handle this?

 

At the moment, I have it as dr- dr- drink.

 

I could see using simply drink, or

dr -r -r - ink or dr - ink or dr- drink.

If the rolled r is distinct enough to warrant it's own vocal tube, dr- r- r- ink is the way to go. The other option is to just cover the whole thing or shorten the single tube to where the singer starts the normal portion of the word - that's all your call and depends on the song.

Thanks.
